Pest Control and Exterminator Service in Trumbauersville, PA

Upper Bucks hills and 1960s block foundations

Block foundations from the 1960s develop cracks and loose mortar joints, and fields and woodlots around the borough supply mice every fall.

Hillside runoff keeps foundation soil damp, which suits termites. Small businesses deal with mice and flies at back doors and trash areas, especially in warm months when trash pickups are a few days apart.

The 1964 median build year points to ranches, Cape Cods and modest two-stories with poured footings and hollow block walls, often with a carport or a one-car garage added later. Sixty winters of freezing and thawing have opened stair-step cracks in many of those walls. Original steel basement windows rust at the frame, and the gap under an old garage door is frequently wide enough for a mouse or a rat to walk under.

About 28% of the borough's homes are rented, many in duplexes, converted houses and small apartment buildings. Shared basements and laundry areas in those buildings let mice and cockroaches pass between units, and tenants moving in and out bring pests from other towns. Around the edges of the borough, cropland and wooded hills toward the Lehigh County line keep field mice, stink bugs and ticks within a short walk of most back yards.

Getting to Trumbauersville from Media

I-476 gets us to the Quakertown interchange, and from there we head west. Thom or one of his team checks foundation walls, basements and attics, or a business's storage and trash areas. The free inspection ends with a quote on paper that lists each treatment and any follow-up.

Trumbauersville near Quakertown and Milford Square

Trumbauersville is a small borough surrounded by Milford Township, close to Quakertown and the Lehigh County line, with Milford Square a short drive away. The borough is only a few streets across, with homes and a handful of businesses gathered near its center and farm fields beginning at the edges. Quakertown's shopping, the Route 309 corridor and the Turnpike's Northeast Extension interchange are all within a few miles, and Coopersburg and the Lehigh Valley lie just beyond the county line to the north. Students attend the Quakertown Community School District. Because the trip from Media runs about 70 minutes, we book Trumbauersville visits with enough time to inspect every unit, garage and outbuilding on a property. That compact, mixed layout shapes our work here: mice in older block-foundation houses, roaches and mice moving between rental units, flies and rodents at business trash areas, and termite checks on damp hillside foundations.
