1980s Split-Levels on Wooded Upper Bucks Lots

Homes from around 1980 often have original decks, wood trim and garage door seals that have weathered for forty years. Subterranean termites reach softened wood at ground level, and mice use worn seals to get into garages and lower levels.

Wooded back edges keep blacklegged ticks close to the lawn. Late summer brings yellow jacket nests in the ground, in landscape ties and behind loose siding.

Many 1980-era lots were terraced with old railroad ties and timber retaining walls when they were built. Forty years later those timbers are soft and full of soil, a perfect bridge for termites, a nesting spot for carpenter ants and a cavity yellow jackets move into by August. Split-levels add a lower family room set half below grade, which stays cool and damp enough that camel crickets and centipedes treat it as their own.

About one home in five is rented, from apartments and twins to single houses on the back roads, so move-in season brings occasional bed bug and roach calls alongside the yard work. The Route 309 corridor adds restaurants, shops and service businesses whose dumpsters feed mice and rats on adjoining lots, while oak and hickory woods behind the subdivisions shelter deer and the ticks they carry.

How We Schedule Upper Bucks Visits from Media

We travel the Northeast Extension and then Route 309 north past Souderton, booking a set day so the trip is planned. Thom and his team inspect the house, garage and wooded edges, and you get a written quote after the free inspection.

Sellersville, Perkasie and the Route 309 Corridor

West Rockhill sits beside Sellersville and Perkasie in the Pennridge School District, with Telford a short way south on Route 309. Route 309 is the township's main artery, running north toward Quakertown and south past Sellersville and Telford toward the Northeast Extension, and most neighborhoods sit on side roads within a few minutes of it. The East Branch of Perkiomen Creek winds past Sellersville and Perkasie at the township's edge, with Lake Lenape and Lenape Park nearby, and the woods along it keep deer moving between the boroughs and the township. Pennridge public schools, like every public district in the state, follow the integrated pest management requirements of Act 35 of 2002. We tend to see the same set of requests from these neighborhoods: mice in garages, termite and carpenter ant checks on aging decks and ties, yellow jackets and ticks in wooded yards, and commercial service along the highway.
