Upper Perkiomen rentals and 1950s borough blocks

Frequent move-ins carry bed bugs and German cockroaches in furniture and boxes, and attached or closely spaced houses let them spread. Older basements along the borough's blocks also admit mice through settled mortar and loose cellar windows.

Farm fields ring the Upper Perkiomen Valley, so each fall brings a fresh push of mice and stink bugs toward town.

The 1958 median reflects a borough that filled in as its furniture industry grew: brick and frame twins, small capes and modest singles on narrow lots, many with detached garages and sheds at the back property line. Seventy-year-old block and stone foundations, wooden back stoops and enclosed rear porches give termites and carpenter ants soft wood at ground level, and the crawlspaces under those porches stay damp and dark enough for mice to nest.

Where a twin or larger house has been split into rentals, the units share a basement, a heating system and the plumbing stack, so roaches or bed bugs found in one apartment usually call for a look at the others. Trash cans, compost and woodpiles behind the houses feed rats and mice. In summer, odorous house ants trail into kitchens from foundation plantings, and paper wasps build under porch roofs and eaves.

A scheduled Upper Perkiomen visit from Media

We usually drive up Route 422 to Collegeville and follow Route 29 north. Thom or a team member inspects the rooms where you see activity, then the basement. For rentals we ask about adjoining units. The inspection is free, and you get a written quote first.

East Greenville on Route 29 next to Pennsburg

East Greenville sits on Route 29 in the Upper Perkiomen School District, next to Pennsburg and Red Hill. Upper Hanover Township surrounds the three boroughs. Route 29 serves as the borough's main street, continuing north toward Lehigh County and south through Pennsburg toward Green Lane. The Knoll furniture plant has long been a fixture of the town, and the older blocks spread out from the business district along that road. The Perkiomen Creek winds past the edge of town on its way toward Green Lane Reservoir, with wooded banks and farm fields between the borough and the water. Local families are served by the Upper Perkiomen School District, and Upper Hanover Township's farmland surrounds the borough on most sides. With four in ten homes rented and housing close together, the calls we expect most are bed bugs and roaches in divided twins, mice in older cellars after harvest, stink bugs in attics and carpenter ants in porch framing.
