Start from the county. In Kentucky, 31 counties fall inside the metros PestReach USA covers — the Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green areas among them — adding up to about 9,409 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 Christian County (718 sq mi), Warren County (542 sq mi), Trigg County (441 sq mi) down to Gallatin County at about 98 square miles. The metros anchoring coverage are Louisville (metro population 1,402,509; 8 covered counties in Kentucky); Lexington (metro population 535,174; 6 covered counties in Kentucky); Bowling Green (metro population 197,180; 4 covered counties in Kentucky). That is the arithmetic the county pages below work from: a county's size decides how spread out the addresses are, its metro decides the pest calendar, and neither number means much without the other.
Weather sets the calendar, and in Louisville — the state's anchor metro — it reads: 48 inches of precipitation annually, average temperatures around 58°F, 38 days reaching 90°F and 80 freezing days. The counties below share that regime; what changes county to county is housing, land and distance from the core.
The pest signature across Kentucky runs through southeast country, and the names that recur on county pages statewide are subterranean termites, mosquitoes, red imported fire ants. The largest covered county in the state is Christian County at about 718 square miles, served through the Clarksville metro. For metro-level guides, see the Kentucky state page.
The communities county residents actually name: Louisville/Jefferson County metro government (balance) (about 627,210 residents), Lexington-Fayette urban county (about 321,122 residents), Bowling Green (about 73,638 residents), Jeffersonville (about 50,176 residents), Georgetown (about 38,206 residents), New Albany (about 37,589 residents) are among the largest covered places in the state, and every one of them routes through the county pages above — find the community on its county page for the local reading.
Louisville — 1,402,509 residents, 12 counties. First on its watch list: subterranean termites, then mosquitoes and red imported fire ants — the pattern of a metro where hot humid summers, heavy rain and mild winters in classic termite-and-ant country.
Lexington — a metro of 535,174 across 6 counties, where the watch list runs subterranean termites, mosquitoes, red imported fire ants — the standing pattern where hot humid summers, heavy rain and mild winters in classic termite-and-ant country.
Bowling Green — about 197,180 residents across 4 counties. The local watch list: subterranean termites, mosquitoes and red imported fire ants, in a metro where hot humid summers, heavy rain and mild winters in classic termite-and-ant country.
