Pest pressure in Delaware

Delaware's climate is humid subtropical with significant maritime influence. Delaware's coastal climate drives heavy mosquito, termite and tick pressure spring through fall. That climate profile is what drives the specific pest pressure DE homeowners deal with — and it's the reason pest control programs in Delaware look different than they do in colder northern states.
