Signs you have spiders in Elsmere

• Live spiders in the basement, garage, and crawl space — the dark corners where spiders settle.

Why Elsmere homes get spiders

The sandy loam that surrounds Elsmere is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what spiders need to thrive. The low coastal plain adds harborage, and the humid subtropical climate keeps the activity going through most of the year. Homes on slab foundations, with crawl spaces, or near the Delaware Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, and tidal creeks see the heaviest pressure. The older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions each bring their own pest profile.
