Pest Control and Exterminator Service in East Fallowfield Township, PA

New subdivisions on old Route 82 farmland

When fields become yards, the mice, voles and ground-nesting yellow jackets living there don't leave; they move to the edges and into garages. Hedgerows and woodlots left between developments keep deer, and blacklegged ticks, close to swing sets and patios.

Stormwater basins built with the subdivisions can hold water long enough to breed mosquitoes in wet summers, and late-1990s homes are past any soil treatment applied at construction, so termite checks are due.

A 1999 median and a renter share near one in ten describe a township of owner-occupied colonials and carriage-style garages on large lawns. Those homes were framed with engineered sheathing and joists that subterranean termites eat as readily as solid lumber, and the gaps builders leave around hose bibs, dryer vents and AC line sets are the doorways field mice find first in October.

Active corn and soybean fields still border many back yards. Harvest and fall tilling drive mice and voles toward the nearest garage, and new lawns laid over old field soil are where yellow jackets dig their nests. Fresh mulch rings around young trees keep moisture at the foundation and pull in ants, earwigs and millipedes after heavy rain.

West through West Chester to Route 82

We drive west through West Chester and pick up Route 82 into the township, about 50 minutes from Media. Tell us if you've seen ticks or mosquitoes so we walk the yard edges as well as the foundation. The inspection is free, and Thom and his team leave a written quote.

East Fallowfield, Coatesville and the farm townships nearby

Route 82 runs south from Coatesville through the township, and Valley Township and West Bradford Township are nearby. North of the township, Route 82 climbs into Coatesville and meets Business Route 30, the old Lincoln Highway, so the city's shops and the township's cul-de-sacs sit only a few minutes apart. South of the newer neighborhoods the land opens into the horse farms and fields of southern Chester County, and the West Branch of Brandywine Creek runs down the eastern side of the township past Modena. Schools belong to the Coatesville Area School District, which follows Pennsylvania's Act 35 of 2002 integrated pest management rules for public schools. That setting brings us a steady pattern of work: first-year pest visits for new owners, fall rodent exclusion on garages, tick and mosquito yard treatments, and termite checks on homes now passing twenty-five years old.
