Pest Control in Upper Darby
Upper Darby is a home rule township in Delaware County, separated from Darby Township at a town meeting in 1747, and with 85,681 residents at the 2020 census it is the sixth most populous municipality in Pennsylvania. It borders Philadelphia along Cobbs Creek, and its neighborhoods include Drexel Hill, Highland Park, Kirklyn, Primos, Secane, Stonehurst and Westbrook Park. The township is also why Pennsylvania has a state insect: students from Highland Park Elementary School campaigned for the Pennsylvania firefly, and the bill was signed on April 10, 1974.
Our office is at 8600 West Chester Pike, Upper Darby Township, PA 19082. West Chester Pike is PA Route 3, the four-lane divided highway that runs between West Chester and Upper Darby and becomes Market Street into Philadelphia. With 85,681 residents in 7.9 square miles the township is densely built, and when two homes share a party wall, mice and insects can move between them through gaps around pipes and joists. A mouse fits through a hole about the size of a dime, so we seal what we find with copper mesh, hardware cloth, silicone sealant and door sweeps.
Eastern subterranean termites are present throughout Pennsylvania, their swarms usually emerge between February and June, and termite problems in a house usually start 10 years or more after it was built. Mosquito season in Delaware County runs April through October, and a small amount of standing water can host a lot of mosquitoes in as few as four days. Delaware County is also inside the spotted lanternfly quarantine. Call the Upper Darby office on (267) 833-2335 and tell us what you are seeing.

Questions, answered
Do you cover Drexel Hill and the rest of Upper Darby Township?
Yes. Drexel Hill is part of Upper Darby Township, as are Highland Park, Kirklyn, Primos, Secane, Stonehurst, Westbrook Park and the other township neighborhoods. Our office is at 8600 West Chester Pike in the 19082 ZIP code. Call (267) 833-2335 with your address and we will tell you when a technician can attend.
Why do mice keep coming back into my twin or row house?
Because the house next door is part of the same problem. When two homes share a party wall, mice and insects can move between them through gaps around pipes and joists. Penn State Extension notes that a mouse fits through a hole about the size of a dime, and that many mice come in through the doorway or around pipes and wires. Trapping removes the mice you have. Sealing those entry points with copper mesh, hardware cloth, silicone sealant and door sweeps is what stops the next ones.
When is mosquito season in Upper Darby?
The Delaware County Health Department puts mosquito season at April through October and keeps traps under surveillance across the county from spring until fall. Its warning is about standing water: even a small amount can become home to many mosquitoes in as few as four days. Gutters, tarps, buckets, tires and unused planters hold most of the water worth dealing with in a typical yard, and we point out every source we find when we walk the property with you.
Should I worry about termites in an older Upper Darby house?
Age changes where a technician looks rather than whether a house is exposed. Penn State Extension notes that eastern subterranean termites are present throughout Pennsylvania and that termite problems usually occur 10 years or more after construction, so an older house is well past the point where damage becomes possible. Swarms usually emerge between February and June. Winged insects indoors in spring or mud tubes on a foundation wall are the signs worth an inspection.
