Route 113 Farmland, Barns and Rural Lots

Many Hilltown homes have barns, sheds or woodpiles nearby. Mice and rats overwinter in those buildings and move to the house when food runs short.

Farm ponds, wet meadows and wooded hedgerows give mosquitoes and ticks steady habitat. Homes built around 1981 also have aging sills and decks that draw termites and carpenter ants.

Hilltown's 1981 median sits between two housing stocks. Stone and frame farmhouses, some with additions from every generation since, stand beside bank barns and springhouses, and their rubble foundations and dirt-floor cellars let mice, camel crickets and carpenter ants in through dozens of small gaps. The subdivisions that came later sit on former fields, so their backyards still meet hay, corn or pasture on at least one side.

Wells, septic systems and sump pits are common on rural lots, and the wet ground around a drain field or a leaking spigot is often where termites and ants concentrate. Fencerows and windbreaks give deer cover right up to the lawn, which brings blacklegged ticks into play areas. Hay storage, feed sheds and chicken coops add the food that keeps rats and house mice close to outbuildings all winter.

Scheduling the Drive from Media to Hilltown

We usually take the Northeast Extension to Lansdale, then Route 113 north, about 65 minutes. Because of that distance, we book a set time and plan the inspection to include outbuildings if needed. Thom and his team check house and barns alike at no charge, then write up the quote.

Blooming Glen, Silverdale and the Pennridge Area

Hilltown includes the village of Blooming Glen and surrounds the small borough of Silverdale. Perkasie sits just to the northwest, and the township is part of the Pennridge School District. Route 113 runs through Silverdale and Blooming Glen, and Route 152 crosses the township toward Chalfont, so most homes are reached from those two roads or the back roads between them. Route 309 brushes the western side near Line Lexington and Sellersville, where commercial buildings and small manufacturers sit closer together. The Pennridge School District's public school buildings follow Pennsylvania's Act 35 of 2002 rules for integrated pest management plans and notice to families before pesticide applications. Away from those corridors, preserved farms, horse properties and wooded lots fill the map, which is why cluster flies, field mice and ticks lead the seasonal list. Many of the older farmsteads still have springhouses and bank barns standing within a few yards of the main house.
