Montgomery Mall's Crossroads and the Homes Behind It

Food courts, restaurants, grocery stores and dumpsters around the crossroads support rats, mice and flies. Rodents move along stormwater channels and tree lines from commercial lots to nearby backyards.

Homes built in the late 1980s are now nearly 40 years old. Their decks, sill plates and mulch-lined foundations give subterranean termites and carpenter ants a way in.

The Wissahickon Creek begins in Montgomeryville, rising from springs and storm drains around the mall and its parking lots before heading south toward North Wales. That upper channel is small and often slow, and the detention ponds and swales built to handle runoff from acres of pavement hold water long after a storm. Mosquitoes breed there all summer, and the vegetated edges give Norway rats and house mice protected cover between store lots and backyards.

Behind the commercial strip, townhome rows and single homes from the late 1980s and early 1990s share the same construction details: slab-on-grade garages, wood decks on posts, vinyl over sheathing and foundation shrubs packed into mulch. Townhome rows share firewalls and attics, so mice and stink bugs pass between units. Busy stores and restaurants take constant deliveries, and cartons and pallets carry German cockroaches into back rooms.

From Media to the 309 and 202 Crossroads

We take I-476 north onto the Northeast Extension, exit at Lansdale and head east to Route 309, about 50 minutes. Businesses can set recurring visits on a fixed day; homeowners should call a day or two ahead. Every job starts with a free inspection by Thom and his team and a quote on paper.

Montgomery Township, Lansdale and Chalfont Around Montgomeryville

Montgomeryville is part of Montgomery Township, which has its own page for the wider township. Lansdale is a short drive west, and Chalfont lies northeast across the Bucks County line on Route 202. Montgomery Mall, open since the late 1970s, anchors the crossroads where Bethlehem Pike (Route 309) meets US 202, surrounded by big-box stores, supermarkets and chain restaurants on both roads. The Route 202 Parkway starts here and runs northeast toward Doylestown, and Horsham Road leads southeast toward Horsham. Loading docks, food court service corridors and outdoor dumpster corrals make up much of the commercial pest work, and they sit within a few hundred feet of residential streets. Montgomeryville is in 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. The upper Wissahickon and its detention ponds run between several of these commercial lots and the neighborhoods behind them.
