Start from the county. In Florida, 44 counties fall inside the metros PestReach USA covers — the Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, North Port–Sarasota, Cape Coral–Fort Myers areas among them — adding up to about 37,495 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 Collier County (1,997 sq mi), Palm Beach County (1,964 sq mi), Miami-Dade County (1,900 sq mi) down to Pinellas County at about 274 square miles. The metros anchoring coverage are Miami (metro population 6,391,072; 3 covered counties in Florida); Tampa (metro population 3,418,895; 4 covered counties in Florida); Orlando (metro population 2,957,672; 4 covered counties in Florida); Jacksonville (metro population 1,785,500; 5 covered counties in Florida); North Port–Sarasota (metro population 948,158; 2 covered counties in Florida); Cape Coral–Fort Myers (metro population 875,607; 1 covered county in Florida); Lakeland (metro population 874,790; 1 covered county in Florida); Daytona Beach (metro population 746,933; 2 covered counties in Florida); Palm Bay–Melbourne (metro population 663,982; 1 covered county in Florida); Port St. Lucie (metro population 568,721; 2 covered counties in Florida); Pensacola (metro population 544,949; 2 covered counties in Florida); Ocala (metro population 442,660; 1 covered county in Florida); Naples (metro population 417,131; 1 covered county in Florida); Tallahassee (metro population 397,442; 4 covered counties in Florida); Gainesville (metro population 359,036; 3 covered counties in Florida); Crestview–Fort Walton Beach (metro population 315,098; 2 covered counties in Florida); Panama City (metro population 231,174; 2 covered counties in Florida); Punta Gorda (metro population 217,212; 1 covered county in Florida); Sebastian–Vero Beach (metro population 172,799; 1 covered county in Florida); Homosassa Springs (metro population 171,666; 1 covered county in Florida); The Villages (metro population 157,772; 1 covered county in Florida). 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, Miami: about 62 inches of precipitation a year, an average temperature near 77°F, roughly 105 days at 90°F or above and 0 days at or below freezing. Every county in this index lives inside that weather pattern, adjusted by its own distance from the metro core.
The pest signature across Florida runs through gulf humid, tropical country, and the names that recur on county pages statewide are subterranean termites, Formosan termites, drywood termites, mosquitoes. The largest covered county in the state is Collier County at about 1,997 square miles, served through the Naples metro. For metro-level guides, see the Florida state page.
The communities county residents actually name: Jacksonville (about 961,739 residents), Miami (about 446,663 residents), Tampa (about 393,389 residents), Orlando (about 311,732 residents), St. Petersburg (about 260,646 residents), Hialeah (about 221,901 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.
