Start a pest map of the Philadelphia–Camden–Wilmington metro and New Castle County is one of its pieces: 426 square miles where the metro's climate lands on this county's own mix of subdivisions, older streets and open ground.
New Castle County's pest calendar is the regional one with a local accent: humid summers and cold winters that swing pressure between termites, ticks and overwintering invaders, and the work concentrates on subterranean termites first, ticks second, and carpenter ants never far behind.
On the map, New Castle County is 426 square miles of Delaware — the 3rd largest county in the state by land area on Census figures — with its centre near 39.58° N, 75.64° W. The Philadelphia–Camden–Wilmington metro counts 11 counties, and providers serve this one from that metro under Delaware licensing.
The numbers that frame New Castle County: 426 square miles, about 9% of the metro's county land, centred roughly 27 miles southwest of Philadelphia. A mid-sized county for this metro. Local providers plan around exactly this kind of framing, because the distance from the core predicts which problems arrive first in spring, which linger latest in autumn, and how the county's housing — its age, its spacing, its tree cover — translates weather into pest calls.
| Land area | 426 sq mi |

| Rank by area in state | 3rd of 3 counties |
| Rank by area in metro | 5th of 11 counties |
| Share of metro land | 9% |
| County centre | 39.58° N, 75.64° W |
| Distance to Philadelphia | about 27 miles (southwest) |

These are New Castle County's own numbers, not the metro's: land, rank and position from Census data. New Castle County sits 5th of 11 in its metro by land area, roughly 27 miles southwest of Philadelphia — the coordinates its pest calendar is read from.
Within the same metro, Bucks County (604 sq mi) lies about 60 miles to the northeast; Burlington County (799 sq mi) lies about 56 miles to the east; Camden County (221 sq mi) lies about 40 miles to the northeast; Cecil County (346 sq mi) lies about 16 miles to the west; Chester County (751 sq mi) lies about 28 miles to the north; Delaware County (184 sq mi) lies about 27 miles to the northeast; Gloucester County (322 sq mi) lies about 28 miles to the east; Montgomery County (483 sq mi) lies about 46 miles to the north — each with its own county page in this index, because pest pressure is read county by county even when the metro is shared.
The Reading, PA metro centre is about 60 miles to the north; the Lancaster, PA metro centre is about 46 miles to the northwest; the Allentown, PA metro centre is about 84 miles to the north. Those distances are the county's real geography, and pest work respects it: providers cross metro lines on their routes every week, and an address near New Castle County's edge can sit closer to a neighbouring metro's crews than to its own.
Coverage for New Castle County runs through these metro guides, every one of them written from local climate and housing data rather than a template.
