Inside the metros we cover sit 29 Alabama counties. Every one has a page here — its pest pressure, its place in its metro, and the services that reach it.

Alabama has 29 counties inside the metro areas this site covers — together about 21,777 square miles of the state, organised around the Birmingham, Huntsville, Mobile, Montgomery, Tuscaloosa, Daphne–Fairhope metro areas. County pages exist because pest work is local at exactly this scale: licensing is by state, wildlife rules can vary locally, and a provider's actual service routes follow county and metro lines rather than state borders. Find your county below for its pest pressure profile and the metro guides that serve it.
The counties around a metro's core are often where the pressure is most interesting — newer subdivisions built into former farmland and woodland meet established pest populations at the edge, while the urban core deals with the pests of density. Each county page reads its own position in that pattern.
By land, the covered counties run from Baldwin County (1,590 sq mi), Tuscaloosa County (1,321 sq mi), Mobile County (1,229 sq mi) down to Henry County at about 562 square miles. The metros anchoring coverage are Birmingham (metro population 1,197,766; 7 covered counties in Alabama); Huntsville (metro population 556,444; 2 covered counties in Alabama); Mobile (metro population 411,658; 1 covered county in Alabama); Montgomery (metro population 388,747; 4 covered counties in Alabama); Tuscaloosa (metro population 281,850; 4 covered counties in Alabama); Daphne–Fairhope (metro population 267,761; 1 covered county in Alabama); Auburn (metro population 208,013; 2 covered counties in Alabama); Decatur (metro population 160,326; 2 covered counties in Alabama); Florence–Muscle Shoals (metro population 156,609; 2 covered counties in Alabama); Dothan (metro population 156,266; 3 covered counties in Alabama). That is the arithmetic the county pages below work from: a county's size decides how spread out the addresses are, its metro decides the pest calendar, and neither number means much without the other.
Weather sets the calendar, and in Birmingham — the state's anchor metro — it reads: 57 inches of precipitation annually, average temperatures around 64°F, 65 days reaching 90°F and 47 freezing days. The counties below share that regime; what changes county to county is housing, land and distance from the core.
Statewide, the recurring names on county pages are subterranean termites, Formosan termites, mosquitoes — the signature of gulf humid country. The biggest covered county, Baldwin County (1,590 square miles), is served through the Daphne–Fairhope metro; metro-level guides live on the Alabama state page.
The communities county residents actually name: Huntsville (about 218,814 residents), Birmingham (about 199,322 residents), Montgomery (about 198,440 residents), Mobile (about 185,097 residents), Tuscaloosa (about 107,699 residents), Hoover (about 92,401 residents) are among the largest covered places in the state, and every one of them routes through the county pages above — find the community on its county page for the local reading.
