Borough Apartments and 1970s Homes Near the Hatfield Plant

Food processing, truck traffic and loading areas draw rodents, and mice living along back lots and fence lines look for warm buildings when the weather turns. Gaps around old pipes and doors let them in.

With more than half of homes rented, apartments and duplexes turn over often. German cockroaches and bed bugs travel between units through shared walls, plumbing and moving boxes.

Most of the borough's housing dates to around 1972: duplexes, small garden apartment buildings, twins and single homes on compact lots, with some older houses near the center. Block foundations with steel basement windows, aluminum-framed sliders and wood porches from that era loosen with age. Tenants who move every year or two rarely seal the gaps they find, so openings around dryer vents, cable lines and air conditioner sleeves can stay open for years.

Rail tracks, industrial lots and open ground at the borough's edges supply Norway rats and field mice, which forage along fence lines and under sheds toward homes. A shared duplex basement becomes a single territory for mice. Summer brings odorous house ants into kitchens and paper wasps under porch roofs, and stink bugs gather on sunny siding in September.

Scheduling a Visit from Media to Hatfield

We take I-476 north onto the Northeast Extension, exit at Lansdale and continue a few miles north into the borough. Because it's nearly an hour each way, we book a time in advance and can group units for landlords. Thom and his team inspect for free, then leave a written quote.

Hatfield Borough Within the North Penn Area

Hatfield borough is surrounded by Hatfield Township and sits between Lansdale and Souderton in northern Montgomery County. The borough is compact, a grid of residential streets around Main Street with a freight rail line running through town and the food plant and its truck routes on a large tract nearby. Route 309 passes just to the east through Hatfield Township, and the Northeast Extension's Lansdale interchange is a few miles southwest. Local families are served by the North Penn School District. Because so much of the borough is rented and its houses sit close together, a pest problem in one building is often a problem in the next, and we often suggest landlords have several units inspected together. The usual work is mouse sealing in duplex basements, German cockroach treatment in shared kitchens, bed bug inspections after move-ins, and rats along fence lines near the tracks.
