Start a pest map of the Louisville/Jefferson County metro and Jefferson County is one of its pieces: 381 square miles where the metro's climate lands on this county's own mix of subdivisions, older streets and open ground.
Jefferson County's pest calendar is the regional one with a local accent: hot humid summers, heavy rain and mild winters in classic termite-and-ant country, and the work concentrates on subterranean termites first, mosquitoes second, and red imported fire ants never far behind.
Jefferson County — 381 square miles, centre near 38.19° N, 85.66° W, and the 38th largest of the state's 120 counties by land — belongs to the Louisville/Jefferson County metro alongside 11 other counties. Local providers cover it from that metro, licensed under Kentucky rules.
The numbers that frame Jefferson County: 381 square miles, about 10% of the metro's county land, centred roughly 2 miles south of Louisville. 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 | 381 sq mi |
|---|---|
| Rank by area in state | 38th of 120 counties |
| Rank by area in metro | 4th of 12 counties |
| Share of metro land | 10% |
| County centre | 38.19° N, 85.66° W |
| Distance to Louisville | about 2 miles (south) |
| Counties in metro | 12 |
These are Jefferson County's own numbers, not the metro's: land, rank and position from Census data. Jefferson County sits 4th of 12 in its metro by land area, roughly 2 miles south of Louisville — the coordinates its pest calendar is read from.
Within the same metro, Washington County (514 sq mi) lies about 37 miles to the northwest; Bullitt County (297 sq mi) lies about 15 miles to the south; Clark County (372 sq mi) lies about 20 miles to the north; Floyd County (148 sq mi) lies about 16 miles to the northwest; Harrison County (484 sq mi) lies about 24 miles to the west; Henry County (286 sq mi) lies about 34 miles to the northeast; Meade County (305 sq mi) lies about 33 miles to the southwest; Nelson County (419 sq mi) lies about 29 miles to the south — each with its own county page in this index, because pest pressure is read county by county even when the metro is shared.
The Lexington, KY metro centre is about 66 miles to the east; the Bowling Green, KY metro centre is about 88 miles to the southwest; the Cincinnati, OH metro centre is about 83 miles to the northeast. 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 Jefferson County's edge can sit closer to a neighbouring metro's crews than to its own.
