Split-Levels, Slab Joints and the Route 322 Corridor

Split-level and ranch homes from the 1960s and '70s have predictable weak points: the joint where slab meets foundation wall, a lower-level family room built at grade, attached garages and original wood siding near soil. Those are classic termite routes, and the same gaps admit mice and camel crickets each fall.

Close to the Delaware state line, the township mixes neighborhoods with highway edges, commercial lots and wooded stream buffers. Those edges harbor ants, spiders, stink bugs and field mice that head for houses once nights cool, and townhouse rows share walls, so an ant or mouse problem in one unit is usually the building's problem.

Naamans Creek and its branches drain the township's southern end toward Delaware, and those shaded stream corridors stay damp well into summer. Standing water in low yards, clogged gutters and folded tarps can breed mosquitoes within a week of warm weather, while leaf litter along the wooded strips holds blacklegged ticks where lawns meet the trees.

About 27% of homes here are rented, much of it in townhouse and garden-apartment complexes. Turnover brings German cockroaches and bed bugs in with used furniture and cardboard boxes, and neither pest stays in one unit for long when plumbing chases and attic spaces are shared.

Our Route Down Pennell Road to Upper Chichester

We usually come south on Pennell Road through Aston, or swing over to Route 322, reaching most of the township in about 20 minutes. Thom and his team's no-cost inspection takes in slab edges, garage, lower level, attic and the yard line, and ends with a written quote in your hand. We're open every day, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Chichester Schools, I-95 and the State Line

Upper Chichester belongs to the Chichester School District with Lower Chichester, Marcus Hook and Trainer, and its public schools follow Pennsylvania's Act 35 integrated pest management rules. The township borders Aston Township and Bethel Township, with I-95 close by and Boothwyn covered on its own page. US 322 runs through as the Conchester Highway, linking the township northwest to Concord and southeast to I-95 and the Commodore Barry Bridge. Highway shoulders, retention basins and the commercial lots along that corridor are typical places for Norway rat burrows and late-summer yellow jacket ground nests. Toward the south, Naamans Creek crosses into Delaware, so yards near its buffers raise more mosquito and tick questions than lots up by Route 322. Neighboring Linwood shares the school district but sits on much older 1940s housing, where the pest mix shifts toward mice and cockroaches.
