Pest Control and Exterminator Service in Lionville, PA

Shared walls in the Route 100 townhome rows

Attics, utility chases and garage lines often run unbroken from one attached unit to the next. Mice that settle in an end unit in October can reach the middle one by November, so sealing matters as much as trapping.

With nearly half of homes rented, furniture changes hands often and bed bugs ride along.

Most of Lionville's attached housing was built in the late 1970s and 1980s as planned communities: two- and three-story townhomes in long rows, with small rear patios divided by wooden privacy fences, cedar or vinyl siding and slab or shallow basement foundations. Those fences and patio decks are now old enough to rot at the posts, and the wood touching soil is often where termites first appear in a row. Shared foundation plantings, kept by the association and mulched every spring, keep the soil along the whole building damp.

Garden apartment complexes near the main roads bring common laundry rooms, stairwells and dumpster enclosures, which German cockroaches and mice use to move from building to building.

Open ground still surrounds many of the communities, including detention basins, mowed common areas and wooded stream strips. Field mice come off that ground each fall, mosquitoes breed in basins that hold water after storms, and stink bugs gather on the sunny ends of each row before squeezing in around windows.

Lionville within Uwchlan and the Route 100 corridor

Lionville is a community in Uwchlan Township, near the Turnpike's Downingtown interchange and a short drive from Marsh Creek State Park. Exton lies just south on Route 100. Route 100, the Pottstown Pike, is the main north-south road, and Route 113 crosses it at the old Lionville crossroads. The Turnpike interchange on Route 100 brings steady commuter traffic, which helps explain the area's mix of rentals and townhomes. Lionville families are in the Downingtown Area School District, which runs schools in the area under Act 35's integrated pest management and notification requirements. Many townhome communities are run by associations that handle exteriors, so the work we expect here often involves coordination: sealing gaps along an entire row for an association, bed bug checks between leases for small landlords, roach programs for apartment managers, and termite inspections on aging fences and patio decks.
