The sandy loam and clay holds the moisture the pests need, the coastal plain and rolling hills offers shelter, and the humid subtropical climate extends the active season. The homes near the the Atlantic, the Delaware River, and lakes and the ones on the older streets with mature trees see the heaviest pressure, and the newer construction brings its own set of conditions.

• Water deeply and less often to grow deep roots.
• Keep the grass at the right height for the season.
