Pre-1960 Twins and Apartments Near the Lansdale Station

Attached homes and converted apartments share walls, basements and plumbing chases. German cockroaches move along those pipes, and mice travel through shared basement walls from one side of a twin to the other.

With almost half of homes rented, move-in season brings bed bugs on used mattresses and furniture. Old fieldstone and block basements stay damp, so silverfish, centipedes and camel crickets thrive there too.

Lansdale's older blocks were laid out for railroad and factory workers, so lots are narrow, alleys run behind many streets and detached garages sit near the back property line. Those alleys collect trash cans, recycling bins and leaf piles where Norway rats and house mice feed, and old frame garages with cracked floors give them a nesting spot a few yards from the house.

Decades of renovation inside these buildings have left gaps a newer house wouldn't have: abandoned gas and oil lines through foundation walls, coal chutes covered but never sealed, and dropped ceilings in converted apartments that form one long open void over several units. Storefront buildings on Main Street often put a commercial kitchen directly below apartments, so roaches that start downstairs can turn up in the units above.

Getting from Media to Main Street Lansdale

We take I-476 north onto the Northeast Extension and exit at Lansdale, about 50 minutes. Because it's a longer trip, appointments are set ahead. Thom and his team inspect for free, and in multi-unit buildings we ask the owner for access to neighboring units. You get a written quote before treatment.

North Penn Neighbors: Hatfield, Upper Gwynedd and North Wales

Lansdale is the hub of the North Penn area, with SEPTA's Lansdale/Doylestown Line stopping downtown. It borders Hatfield Township and Upper Gwynedd, and North Wales is a short ride away. Main Street and Broad Street meet in the center of the borough, a short walk from the train station, and the restaurants, bars and shops along Main Street keep food waste moving through the alleys behind them. SEPTA's Lansdale/Doylestown Line has more than one stop in town, including 9th Street, and apartment buildings have clustered near the tracks for generations. The rail corridor itself, with its ballast, weeds and fencing, gives rats a protected path through the middle of town. Lansdale is part of the North Penn School District, whose public school buildings follow Pennsylvania's Act 35 of 2002 rules for integrated pest management plans and notice before pesticide applications. Newer townhomes and offices at the borough's edges add a different mix of ant, stink bug and spider calls.
