The Sacramento–Roseville–Folsom metro spreads across several counties, and Placer County — about 1,407 square miles of California — carries its full share of the region's pest pressure.
Read Placer County's pest list off its geography: dry summers, mild wet winters and year-round moderate temperatures pests can work with, and the result is a calendar dominated by Argentine ants, drywood termites and roof rats.
The county's vital statistics: 1,407 square miles (the 32nd largest of 58 in California), centred at 39.06° N, 120.72° W, and one of the 4 counties composing the Sacramento–Roseville–Folsom metro. Pest work here is done by metro-based providers under California rules.
Geography puts Placer County about 31 miles northeast of Sacramento, and that position inside the metro matters more than it might seem. At 28% of the metro's total county land area, Placer County is a mid-sized county for this metro — and pest work here follows the settlement pattern: the closer a property sits to the metro's wooded and watered edges, the more its pressure resembles the countryside's; the closer to the core, the more it resembles the city's. Providers read the address before they read the pest, because in Placer County the same species behaves differently at the two ends of that spectrum.

These are Placer County's own numbers, not the metro's: land, rank and position from Census data. Placer County sits 2nd of 4 in its metro by land area, roughly 31 miles northeast of Sacramento — the coordinates its pest calendar is read from.
Within the same metro, El Dorado County (1,708 sq mi) lies about 22 miles to the southeast; Sacramento County (965 sq mi) lies about 54 miles to the southwest; Yolo County (1,013 sq mi) lies about 69 miles to the west — each with its own county page in this index, because pest pressure is read county by county even when the metro is shared.
From the centre of Placer County, the Yuba City, CA metro centre is about 43 miles to the west; the Vallejo, CA metro centre is about 86 miles to the southwest; the Stockton, CA metro centre is about 83 miles to the south. Pest pressure follows the same roads and weather across those lines, and providers work across them daily — a property near the county edge may be served from either direction.
