Renters, interchange traffic and 1980s Towamencin housing

More than a third of Kulpsville homes are rented, and each move into an apartment or townhome is a chance for bed bugs to arrive in a mattress or used couch. Attached units share walls, outlets and plumbing runs that let bed bugs and German cockroaches travel.

Travelers stopping near the interchange add to bed bug traffic, and the Towamencin Creek valley and remaining fields send mice toward 1980s foundations every October.

Townhome communities built here in the 1980s commonly have wood-framed units over slabs or short basements, with a party wall between kitchens and a shared roof line. Gaps where cable and phone lines were added later, along with dryer vents at ground level, are the usual entry points for mice. Inside, refrigerator and dishwasher lines run through the same wall cavities on both sides of a party wall, which gives German cockroaches a warm, hidden route from one kitchen to the next.

Towamencin Creek and its small tributaries cross the area in narrow wooded strips between developments, and stormwater basins built with the 1980s neighborhoods sit at their low ends. Those wet areas keep mosquitoes going from late May, and the creek strips give mice and rabbits cover beside lawns. Single-family homes from the same period now have sill plates, deck ledgers and garage door frames close to forty years old, the age when termites and carpenter ants begin showing up.

Kulpsville within Towamencin, near Lansdale and Harleysville

Kulpsville is part of Towamencin Township, with the borough of Lansdale a few miles east and Harleysville to the northwest. Sumneytown Pike (Route 63) runs through Kulpsville from the Turnpike's Lansdale interchange, lined with offices, hotels, shopping centers and apartment entrances, and the Northeast Extension itself cuts through the community. Towamencin Creek flows south toward the Skippack, and Lansdale's downtown train station on the Lansdale/Doylestown Line is only a few miles east, so many residents commute from here by rail or by the Extension. Students attend the North Penn School District, which also serves Lansdale and the surrounding townships. Because hotels near the interchange, rental complexes and owner-occupied subdivisions all sit within a short drive of each other, the calls we expect range from bed bug inspections and roach baiting in shared buildings to fall mouse sealing and termite checks on single homes along the creek.
