Marsh Creek Lake, woods and 1970s houses

Coves and wetlands around Marsh Creek Lake breed mosquitoes, and wooded lots carry deer and blacklegged ticks into yards.

Houses from the early 1970s have settled sills and loose garage seals that let mice in, and damp wooded soil keeps termites active near foundations. Firewood stacked beside the house adds carpenter ants to the list on many wooded lots.

Marsh Creek Lake is a reservoir of roughly 500 acres created in the early 1970s, about the same time much of Glenmoore's housing went up. Many of those homes are ranches, bi-levels and colonials set back on wooded lots of an acre or more, with private wells, septic fields, cedar or aluminum siding and wood decks. Fifty years on, the decks, trim and sill plates on the shaded side of these houses are the first wood to soften.

The terrain here rolls steeply between the lake, Marsh Creek and the farm valleys, so many basements are dug into slopes and catch runoff on the uphill wall. That moisture draws termites, camel crickets and millipedes. Wallace Township's large lots leave woods and fields between houses, which means deer, mice and ticks never have far to travel to reach a back door.

Glenmoore in Wallace Township near Marsh Creek

Glenmoore is a village in Wallace Township close to Marsh Creek State Park, with Upper Uwchlan Township and West Brandywine Township nearby. The state park surrounds Marsh Creek Lake, a popular spot for boating and fishing, with trails through the woods on both shores. Springton Manor Farm, a Chester County park and demonstration farm, sits just outside the village, and the East Branch of the Brandywine runs a few miles to the west. Families here attend the Downingtown Area School District. There is no real commercial strip; the village is mostly homes, farms and woods along winding roads. That setting makes our Glenmoore work largely outdoor and seasonal: mosquitoes and ticks near the lake and woods, mice and carpenter ants on wooded lots, and termite checks on 1970s homes built into the hills.
