Pest Control in Glen Mills, PA

Glen Mills is an unincorporated community, which means it has no municipal government of its own to call. It sits in Concord Township, Delaware County, and the 19342 ZIP code also reaches Thornbury, Edgmont, Middletown and Chadds Ford townships, Thornbury Township in Chester County, and Chester Heights borough. We ask which municipality you are in when you call, because the 19342 ZIP code by itself does not settle that question.

Penn State Extension reports that eastern subterranean termites are present throughout Pennsylvania and that swarms usually emerge between February and June. The first thing you are likely to find is shed wings near a window, and Penn State says those wings are very often the only evidence of termites. Earth-colored mud tubes running from the soil up to wood are the other sign that you should be watching for. Any wood set into earth or into a concrete cellar floor deserves a close look, because Penn State flags it as especially susceptible.

Yes, and the reason is short: Pennsylvania DEP ranks the state number one in the country for reported Lyme disease cases. The blacklegged tick is the species that carries the Lyme bacterium, and DEP has found that bacterium in blacklegged ticks collected in Pennsylvania. DEP puts the greatest risk of a bite in spring, summer and fall, from either a nymph or an adult female. Tick work concentrates on the shaded edge of your lawn, where mown grass gives way to brush, leaf litter and woodline.

A technician walks the outside of the house first, because entry points and moisture problems usually sit at or below grade level. That means the foundation, the sill line, downspout discharge, crawl space vents and anywhere mulch or firewood is touching the wall. Indoors the check covers the basement, the kitchen and any room that sits over an unheated crawl space. The Glen Mills office is at 262 Baltimore Pike, Suite 100, and it keeps hours from 7:30 in the morning until 9:00 at night.
