Early-1960s Apartments and Pennypack Creek's Wooded Banks

Garden apartments and single homes from the early 1960s share long plumbing runs and tired weatherstripping. German cockroaches travel along those pipes between units, and bed bugs ride in with furniture when leases turn over.

Pennypack Creek and its wooded edges keep soil damp and give mosquitoes still water through summer. The same cover shelters mice, which move into basements near the creek when frost arrives.

Many of the rentals are garden apartment complexes and converted houses near Easton Road and York Road, with shared basements, laundry rooms and dumpster enclosures. One poorly kept trash area can feed rats and roaches for an entire complex, and tenants carrying furniture up and down the same stairwells spread bed bugs from unit to unit.

Single homes are mostly early-1960s ranches, split-levels and twins on modest lots. Their original block foundations, basement windows and slab garages have shifted and cracked over sixty years, giving termites and mice easy entry, and many have gained rear additions or enclosed porches that add new seams. Retail strips along the Turnpike interchange and the main roads put restaurants and food stores within a block of neighborhoods, which keeps rodent pressure higher than in quieter parts of the county.

From Media to Upper Moreland by Blue Route and Turnpike

Most trips run up I-476 and east on the Turnpike, about 50 minutes all told, so we set a time when you call. Landlords and tenants can both reach us; tell us which unit and who will let us in. Thom and his team inspect at no charge and leave a written quote.

Willow Grove, Hatboro and the Main Corridors

Upper Moreland takes in much of Willow Grove and borders the separate borough of Hatboro. Easton Road (Route 611) and York Road (Route 263) are its main corridors. Easton Road meets the Turnpike at the Willow Grove interchange, and SEPTA's Warminster Line runs north through the township toward Hatboro and Warminster. Pennypack Creek's wooded corridor winds through on its way south toward Lower Moreland and Philadelphia, and Bryn Athyn, with its cathedral and open campus, is a short drive east. Upper Moreland High School anchors the Upper Moreland School District, whose schools follow Pennsylvania's Act 35 integrated pest management rules. Typical work here: building-wide bed bug and roach programs for landlords, rodent stations behind restaurants, mosquito treatments for creek-side yards and termite checks on 1960s houses. For rental calls, letting us know the building, the unit numbers involved and who holds the keys keeps the inspection to one trip.
