The Chicago–Naperville–Elgin metro spreads across several counties, and DuPage County — about 328 square miles of Illinois — carries its full share of the region's pest pressure.
In DuPage County the pattern is set overhead and underfoot: hot humid summers and deep-freeze winters that push pests indoors in waves above, and housing that gives those pests their harbourage below. carpenter ants and overwintering pests are where the two meet most often.
On the map, DuPage County is 328 square miles of Illinois — the 87th largest county in the state by land area on Census figures — with its centre near 41.85° N, 88.09° W. The Chicago–Naperville–Elgin metro counts 13 counties, and providers serve this one from that metro under Illinois licensing.
From Chicago, DuPage County lies about 17 miles to the northwest. Counties are not equal shares of a metro: at 328 square miles, DuPage County accounts for around 5% of the total county land in this one, and it is a mid-sized county for this metro. Pest pressure tracks those proportions loosely but honestly — more open land means more wildlife and field-pest interface; tighter settlement means more of the pests of density — and DuPage County's blend of the two is its own.
