Pest Control and Exterminator Service in Newtown Township (Bucks County), PA

Tyler State Park Woods and Neshaminy Creek Lowlands

Neighborhoods that border Tyler State Park and the Neshaminy's wooded banks see more ticks, mosquitoes and mice than lots farther from the creek. Blacklegged ticks wait in leaf litter at the lawn edge, and Pennsylvania reports some of the highest Lyme counts in the country.

Homes from the late 1980s are well past their builder termite treatment, and wood decks and mulch-bed landscaping keep soil damp against the foundation.

Newtown Township grew quickly in the late 1980s and 1990s, filling former farms between the borough and the Bypass with colonial subdivisions and large townhome communities. Townhouses share long rows of wall and roofline, so a mouse or stink bug problem that starts in one end unit often turns up two doors down, and association landscaping keeps continuous mulch beds against every foundation.

Newtown Creek and the smaller streams feeding the Neshaminy run through detention basins and greenways inside many developments, which adds mosquito habitat well away from the state park itself. Retail lots and restaurants along the Bypass draw house mice, Norway rats and flies to dumpster corrals that sit close to residential rows, and yellow jackets nest in the dry, sunny berms between them.

Booking the Longer Drive from Media to Newtown

We usually take I-95 north into Bucks County, then the Newtown Bypass, about 70 minutes. Since it's a longer drive, we set Newtown appointments a day or more ahead. Thom and his team do a free inspection of the house and yard and give you a written quote.

Bucks County Community College and the Townships Around Newtown

Newtown Township is home to Bucks County Community College's main campus on Swamp Road and shares Tyler State Park with neighboring townships. It wraps around the separate borough of Newtown and borders Upper Makefield and Northampton. Bucks County Community College's Swamp Road campus sits beside Tyler State Park, where the Schofield Ford Covered Bridge crosses the Neshaminy and wooded trails meet the backyards along the park's edge. Council Rock High School North is also on Swamp Road, and Council Rock School District buildings follow Pennsylvania's Act 35 of 2002, which requires integrated pest management plans and notice to families before pesticide applications. The Newtown Bypass, Route 332, carries most traffic around the old borough and is lined with office parks, banks and shopping centers whose loading doors and dumpsters need regular attention. Eagle Road and Stoopville Road lead out to quieter parts of the township, where larger lots border farmland and woods.
