Providers plan their work county by county, and Salem County — 332 square miles inside the Philadelphia–Camden–Wilmington metro — is planned around the same weather and housing forces as the rest of the metro, felt at this county's own addresses.
In Salem County the pattern is set overhead and underfoot: humid summers and cold winters that swing pressure between termites, ticks and overwintering invaders above, and housing that gives those pests their harbourage below. subterranean termites and ticks are where the two meet most often.
