Brick Row Houses, Semester Turnover and Downtown Dining

Census (ACS) estimates show about 65 percent of households renting, one of the highest renter shares we serve, and a median build year of 1954. Old twins converted into student apartments share walls, attics and basements.

Each August and May, furniture moves in and out by the truckload, and bed bugs ride along. Restaurant trash downtown supports rats in alleys and basements.

The downtown grid holds nineteenth-century brick and green serpentine stone buildings with deep cellars, many split into shops below and apartments above. Those cellars connect through party walls and old utility runs, so a mouse population under one storefront rarely stays put, and German cockroaches follow the shared plumbing into the kitchens upstairs. Treating a single unit can't keep up when the building next door goes untreated.

Away from the center, post-war twins and small singles near the university fill with student households that change every year. Overflowing recycling bins, curbside couches in May and August, and basements used for storage give mice, roaches and bed bugs plenty of chances. Big shade trees along the residential streets bring carpenter ants to porch roofs and send stink bugs and spotted lanternflies to sunny brick walls in late summer.

Driving Baltimore Pike and US 202 into the Borough

We take Route 1 south and US 202 north into town. Thom and his team inspect units, basements and shared spaces, and landlords get a written quote covering the whole building.

From the Courthouse Blocks to the University's South Side

The borough is ringed by West Goshen Township and Westtown Township, where single-family homes face different pests than the downtown rentals. West Chester University, part of Pennsylvania's state university system, sits on the borough's south side, and in a borough of roughly 20,700 residents its students set the rental calendar. The Chester County Courthouse stands at High and Market streets, Marshall Square Park and Everhart Park anchor the residential neighborhoods, and the West Chester Railroad runs heritage trains south toward Glen Mills. Children from local families attend the West Chester Area School District. Those anchors explain the pattern we plan for: bed bugs and roaches in converted rentals each semester, rodents behind the Gay and High Street dining blocks, and mice, carpenter ants and termites in older homes on the tree-lined side streets.
