Start from the county. In Connecticut, 7 counties fall inside the metros PestReach USA covers — the Hartford, Bridgeport–Stamford, New Haven, Waterbury, Norwich–New London areas among them — adding up to about 3,502 square miles. Pest pressure is read at this level because it is the level providers work at: routes, licensing and local rules all resolve to county and metro long before they resolve to state.
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 Capitol Planning Region (1,027 sq mi), Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region (598 sq mi), Western Connecticut Planning Region (532 sq mi) down to Greater Bridgeport Planning Region at about 140 square miles. The metros anchoring coverage are Hartford (metro population 1,171,426; 2 covered counties in Connecticut); Bridgeport–Stamford (metro population 978,179; 2 covered counties in Connecticut); New Haven (metro population 578,741; 1 covered county in Connecticut); Waterbury (metro population 463,349; 1 covered county in Connecticut); Norwich–New London (metro population 284,015; 1 covered county in Connecticut). Those numbers are the frame for everything on the county pages below: area sets how rural a county reads, the metro sets its pest calendar, and the two together set what providers actually deal with there.
The state's pest calendar is anchored by its largest metro, Hartford: about 43 inches of precipitation a year, an average temperature near 52°F, roughly 17 days at 90°F or above and 121 days at or below freezing. Every county in this index lives inside that weather pattern, adjusted by its own distance from the metro core.
Statewide, the recurring names on county pages are carpenter ants, ticks, house mice — the signature of northeast country. The biggest covered county, Capitol Planning Region (1,027 square miles), is served through the Hartford metro; metro-level guides live on the Connecticut state page.
The communities county residents actually name: Bridgeport (about 148,012 residents), Bridgeport (about 148,012 residents), Bridgeport (about 148,012 residents), Stamford (about 135,806 residents), Stamford (about 135,806 residents), Stamford (about 135,806 residents) are the largest covered communities on this index; each sits inside one of the counties above, and its county page carries the local pest reading for that ground.
