Chester Creek Valley Woods Behind 1970-Era Split-Levels

Houses from the late 1960s and 1970s often sit on hollow concrete block foundations. Termites can travel inside those block cores and reach the sill without leaving a tube on the outside, so we look hard at the top course of block, the garage slab and the joint under the front steps. Wood decks added in later years are another termite and carpenter bee target, especially where posts sit in soil.

Lots near the Chester Creek valley share edges with woods, deer and damp floodplain soil. That brings blacklegged ticks into lawn edges, mosquitoes into low corners, and white-footed mice into garages and sheds once nights cool. In late summer, yellow jackets build in the ground along wooded slopes, often right where kids play.

Older pockets of the township, such as the mill village of Crozerville on Chester Creek, add stone walls, sheds and creek banks that give mice and the occasional Norway rat protected runways. Summer storms push the creek over its low banks and leave pools in yards and ditches for days, and Asian tiger mosquitoes breed readily in that water and in any bucket or tarp nearby.

From Media to Aston via Route 1 and Pennell Road

We reach Aston in about 10 minutes, taking Route 1 to Lima and then Pennell Road (Route 452) south. Thom and his team walk the foundation, garage, deck and back lot during a free inspection, then hand over a written quote. For deck or termite work, it helps to know when the house or deck was built and whether either has been treated before.

Neumann University, Pennell Road and the Chester Creek Corridor

Our Aston work runs from the neighborhoods near Neumann University and the shops along Pennell Road to the streets above the Chester Creek valley. Aston includes the Village Green-Green Ridge area, and we also serve Brookhaven and Chester Heights next door. Neumann University's campus brings residence halls, dining service and athletic fields, all places where rodents, cockroaches and stinging insects need steady attention. Sun Valley High School and Northley Middle School, both in the Penn-Delco School District, operate under Pennsylvania Act 35 of 2002, which requires integrated pest management plans and pesticide notices. Along the Chester Creek valley, wooded slopes and leaf litter hold deer and blacklegged ticks, which is why tick checks matter on streets that back onto the creek. Pennell Road's shopping centers and restaurants add the commercial side, where back doors and dumpsters draw rodents and roaches.
