Reservoir water and 1940s houses on Route 29

The reservoir's coves and the Perkiomen Creek hold water for mosquitoes, and Green Lane Park's woods bring deer and ticks close to yards.

Houses from the 1940s have stone or block cellars, settled sills and old windows. Those gaps admit mice and keep wood damp enough for termites. Silverfish and camel crickets thrive in the same humid cellars.

With a 1942 median build year, Green Lane's housing is mostly older frame and brick homes, twins and a few converted houses close to the street, many with front porches and detached garages. Porch floors and roof posts from that period are often original, and where paint has failed the wood takes on water, which carpenter ants and termites both exploit. Old coal chutes, cellar windows and pipe openings in the foundations are rarely sealed.

The borough is small and its streets back almost directly onto parkland and the creek valley, so wildlife and insects cross into yards with nothing in the way. Roughly 32% of homes are rented, and in a converted twin or a small apartment building, mice and roaches move through shared cellars and walls. Low ground near the Perkiomen also stays wet after storms, which lengthens the mosquito season for houses at the bottom of town.

Coming up Route 29 to Green Lane

We drive Route 422 and then Route 29 north along the Perkiomen into town. Thom or a crew member looks at the cellar and sills, then the yard edge. After the free inspection we hand over a written quote.

Green Lane between the park and Red Hill

Green Lane sits on Route 29 beside Green Lane Park and its reservoir, just south of Red Hill and close to Woxall. Route 63 meets Route 29 in the borough, which makes Green Lane the crossroads between the upper Perkiomen valley and Harleysville. Green Lane Park takes in the Green Lane Reservoir along with the smaller Deep Creek Lake and Knight Lake, and its woods and fields cover far more ground than the borough itself. The Perkiomen Trail ends at the park after following the creek north from Oaks. Local children attend the Upper Perkiomen School District. That setting shapes our work here: mosquitoes and ticks for yards beside the park and creek, mice and moisture pests in 1940s cellars, carpenter ants in porch wood, and shared-wall treatments in the borough's rental buildings.
