Unionville Barns, Board Fences and 1988-Era Homes

Only about 8 percent of East Marlborough households rent, and the median home dates to 1988, per Census (ACS) estimates. Barns, feed rooms and manure areas supply mice, rats and flies.

Open pasture and woodland edges support deer and blacklegged ticks, and weathered fence boards and trim attract carpenter bees.

Properties here often combine a house with a working barn, an indoor ring, run-in sheds and a long paddock fence line. Sweet feed, grain bins and stacked hay give mice and rats a reliable winter pantry, and once the barn population builds, the house's garage and mudroom are only a short run away. Manure piles and wet bedding produce house flies and stable flies from May until frost, and the biting stable fly bothers horses and people on the patio alike.

The homes themselves are mostly large 1980s and 1990s colonials and converted farmhouses on several acres. Untreated cedar, oak board fencing and barn siding weather to bare wood, which carpenter bees bore into each spring, and fence posts set straight into the ground soften over time and feed subterranean termites.

Long open views come with long field edges. Deer cross pastures at dawn and dusk, leaving blacklegged ticks in hedgerows and leaf litter, and stink bugs collect on sunny barn walls and house siding every fall.

US 1 to Kennett Square, Then Route 82 North

We take US 1 south and Route 82 north into Unionville. Thom and his team walk the barns, outbuildings and house, then send a written quote.

North of Kennett Square, in the Unionville-Chadds Ford District

East Marlborough borders Kennett Square and Kennett Township, and its students attend the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District. Unionville village grows up around the crossing of Route 82 and Route 162, and Unionville High School sits along Route 82 in the township. Kennett Square lies just to the south, and much of the land between is pasture, woods and preserved farmland that keeps the area's horse-country character. Unionville-Chadds Ford schools manage pests under Act 35 integrated pest management plans, and Chester County is inside PDA's spotted lanternfly quarantine, which matters for anyone moving trailers or firewood off the property. Given that setting, we expect most East Marlborough calls to involve barns and outbuildings as much as houses: rodent stations placed where horses and dogs can't reach them, fly management near stalls, carpenter bee treatment on board fences and trim, and termite and tick work around the main house.
