Pest Control and Exterminator Service in Westtown Township, PA

Campus Farmland, Route 926 Subdivisions and Wooded Stream Valleys

Westtown's typical house dates to 1981; Census (ACS) estimates count about 17 percent of households as renters. Decks, fascia boards and trim on homes that age show carpenter bee and termite damage.

Fields and woodlots near the campus supply field mice and deer, and stream valleys hold moisture that keeps termites active.

Most neighborhoods were built in phases through the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, so one street may have cedar-sided contemporaries and the next vinyl colonials with poured basements. The older of those houses still carry original wood decks, rake boards and garage trim that have dried, cracked and lost their paint, which is exactly what carpenter bees and moisture-seeking termites choose.

The headwaters of Chester Creek wind through the township in narrow wooded strips behind backyards. Those corridors give deer a protected route between the campus fields and the subdivisions, and the shaded, leaf-covered ground beside them stays humid enough for blacklegged ticks from April to November. Retention basins and swales built with the newer developments hold water after storms and add mosquito breeding spots.

Open fields also produce the classic fall migration: field mice into garages, then stink bugs and boxelder bugs onto the sunny walls of two-story houses.

Neighbors on Both Sides of the County Line

Westtown borders Thornbury Township and Edgmont Township in Delaware County, and West Chester to the north. Westtown School, a Quaker boarding and day school, keeps hundreds of acres of farm fields, woods and a lake at the center of the township. Oakbourne Park, a township park with a historic mansion, sits off South Concord Road, and Street Road (Route 926) and West Chester Pike (Route 3) carry most local traffic. Westtown children go to West Chester Area School District schools, where Act 35 of 2002 governs how pests are managed and when parents hear about treatments. The calls we expect from Westtown follow that layout: carpenter bee and termite checks on aging decks, rodent sealing for homes beside fields, tick programs where yards meet a creek corridor, and scheduled service for the offices and shops near Route 202.
