Pest Control in Horsham, PA
Horsham sits inside Horsham Township in Montgomery County, where Park Creek, the Little Neshaminy and the Pennypack headwaters cross the township alongside more than 800 acres of township parkland. Those are the wet and wooded features that matter when you are looking at mosquito and tick pressure on your property.
Pest Control in Horsham
Horsham is a census designated place rather than an incorporated borough, coterminous with ZIP Code 19044, so the local government here is Horsham Township in Montgomery County. Its villages are Prospectville, Hallowell, Horsham and Maple Glen, and Maple Glen is shared with Upper Dublin Township. Park Creek, Little Neshaminy Creek and Pennypack Creek all run through the township, and Pennypack begins in two branches, one of them in Horsham. Graeme Park on County Line Road holds the Keith House, built in 1722 and the only surviving residence of a colonial-era Pennsylvania governor.
In Pennsylvania, swarms of winged termites usually emerge between February and June. DEP puts the greatest risk of a tick bite in spring, summer and fall, from a nymph or adult female. Montgomery County's Office of Public Health monitors mosquito activity throughout the county and may spray if mosquitoes test positive for viruses that threaten public health. In the fall, spotted lanternfly lay egg masses that hold 30 to 50 eggs each. CDC surveillance for 2019 through 2022 put Pennsylvania second in the country at 17.1 percent of reported Lyme disease cases.

Questions, answered
Is Horsham its own borough, or is it part of Horsham Township, Montgomery County?
Horsham is a census designated place rather than an incorporated borough, and it sits inside Horsham Township in Montgomery County. The township's other villages are Prospectville and Hallowell, plus Maple Glen, which it shares with Upper Dublin Township. Horsham Township borders Montgomery, Lower Gwynedd, Upper Dublin and Upper Moreland townships, and it borders Warrington and Warminster townships in Bucks County. Knowing which side of that county line your address falls on saves confusion when a neighbor is being treated as well.
Why do I get so many mosquitoes in my Horsham back yard?
Mosquitoes need standing water to breed, and Park Creek, Little Neshaminy Creek and Pennypack Creek all run through Horsham Township. Montgomery County's Office of Public Health monitors mosquito activity across the county and may spray when mosquitoes test positive for viruses that threaten public health. On your own property the fix is usually smaller than you expect, because the county names gutters, buckets, old tires, plant containers, birdbaths, and trash and recycling bins. We look for those containers first and then treat the shaded resting places where adult mosquitoes sit during the day.
Are ticks a real risk along the Power Line Trail and Horsham's township parks?
PA DEP puts the greatest risk of a blacklegged tick bite in spring, summer and fall, from a nymph or an adult female. The Power Line Trail is made up of six segments totaling 5.24 miles along a PECO Energy right-of-way inside Horsham Township. The township also runs a park system of more than 800 acres across dozens of sites, so mown grass meets rougher edges in a lot of Horsham neighborhoods. DEP describes adult ticks in forest edge habitat and understory vegetation, with nymphs and larvae in leaf litter, so treatment concentrates on that boundary.
Is the spotted lanternfly still something I should deal with in Horsham?
Montgomery County sits inside Pennsylvania's spotted lanternfly quarantine, so the insect is established here rather than something new. The quarantine prohibits moving any living stage of the insect, including egg masses, nymphs and adults, and it regulates articles that can harbor them. Businesses that operate in and out of quarantined counties have to hold a spotted lanternfly permit from the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. The Department of Agriculture says the egg masses go on in the fall at 30 to 50 eggs each, which is why scraping over winter is worth the effort.
