The rocky coast, forests, and mountains adds harborage, and the humid continental climate keeps the activity going through most of the year. Homes on slab foundations, with crawl spaces, or near the the Atlantic, lakes, and rivers see the heaviest pressure. The older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions each bring their own pest profile.
