Tylersport fields, hedgerows and 1980s homes

Mice, voles and ticks live in hedgerows and field margins, and large lots put lawns right against that cover. When crops come in, mice shift to garages and basements.

Newer houses still have weak spots: foam-sealed utility lines, garage door gaps and deck posts set in soil, where termites find wood. Low wet ground between fields holds water long enough for mosquitoes to breed.

Homes built around 1984 here are mostly colonials, bi-levels and ranches on lots of an acre or more, often with wood decks and detached sheds or barns. Forty years on, deck ledgers, garage trim and wood siding have weathered, and the foam used around hose bibs and wire penetrations has crumbled; mice chew straight through it. Outbuildings full of feed, seed, firewood and equipment give rodents winter quarters a short run from the house, and stacked firewood carries termites and carpenter ants toward the back door.

Small streams and drainage swales feeding the Perkiomen watershed cut through the township, and the wooded strips along them shelter deer. Deer bring blacklegged ticks to lawn edges, and wet ground beside those streams breeds mosquitoes after summer storms. Sunny south walls facing open fields collect stink bugs, boxelder bugs and cluster flies in early fall.

How a Salford Township visit is planned

We head up I-476 and finish on back roads into the township. Thom or one of his team walks the lot line, garage and deck before going inside, since most problems here start outdoors. There's no fee for the inspection, and the written quote spells out each step.

Salford between Franconia, Telford and Green Lane

Salford Township is rural Montgomery County, bordering Franconia Township with Green Lane a short drive west. Tylersport is its main village. Tylersport is the township's main crossroads village, and Old Skippack Road runs through some of its oldest farmland, where older farmhouses and barns still stand beside newer homes. Much of the land remains in fields, woodlots and preserved open space. Local families are served by the Souderton Area School District, and Telford and Souderton are the nearest boroughs for shopping and services. With only about 7% of homes rented, almost every call comes from an owner managing a large lot. That means termite inspections on decks and additions, mice in garages and barns after harvest, ticks and mosquitoes along hedgerows and stream edges, and stink bugs on siding facing the fields. Visits here usually begin outdoors at the outbuildings and lot line.
