Pest Control and Exterminator Service in Lower Southampton Township, PA

1970 Ranches and Split-Levels Near Route 1 and Street Road

Fifty-year-old homes have slab and crawlspace edges, aging wood siding and garage sills that termites and carpenter ants reach easily. Southeastern Pennsylvania's moderate-to-heavy termite pressure makes those spots worth checking.

Commercial strips along Street Road and Bustleton Pike bring restaurants and dumpsters close to residential streets, and rats and mice work outward from them through crawlspace vents and gaps under siding.

Many homes here follow the split-level plan of the era: a slab-on-grade family room and garage beside a half-story crawlspace under the bedrooms. Where that slab meets the block crawlspace wall there is a cold joint termites can tube through unseen, and crawlspaces with dirt or thin concrete floors stay humid enough for camel crickets and silverfish.

Original aluminum and wood windows, through-wall air conditioner sleeves and decades of cable and phone line holes leave small openings on every side of the house. Mature shade trees fill gutters each fall, the overflow soaks soil along the foundation, and stink bugs and mice find those gaps as the weather cools. Busy commercial lots also put dumpsters and grease bins within a block of many backyards.

From Media to Lower Southampton by Turnpike or I-95

Depending on traffic, we reach the township by the Turnpike to the Route 1 interchange or by I-95 north, about 55 minutes either way. That is a longer drive from Media, so call a day or two ahead. Thom and his team do the free inspection and give you a written quote.

Neighbors Around Feasterville-Trevose

Lower Southampton borders Upper Southampton to the north, Bensalem to the south and Northeast Philadelphia to the west, with Street Road and Bustleton Pike as its busiest corridors. Street Road, signed as Route 132, and Bustleton Pike meet in Feasterville, where shopping centers, diners and service businesses line both roads. Route 1 runs along the Trevose side near the Turnpike's Route 1 interchange, with office parks and hotels that turn over guests every night, so commercial service here means break rooms and guest floors as well as kitchens. Bustleton Pike continues straight into Somerton in Northeast Philadelphia, and rodent pressure doesn't stop at the city line. Brownsville Road and Bridgetown Pike carry traffic through the residential middle of the township. Lower Southampton is part of the Neshaminy School District, whose public school buildings follow Pennsylvania's Act 35 of 2002 rules for integrated pest management and advance notice of pesticide applications.
