Scott County covers about 282 square miles of Kentucky and sits inside the Lexington-Fayette metro area, which means its pest pressure is the metro's pressure — read through Scott County's own landscape of homes, lots and green edges.
The county's homes sit in southeast country, where hot humid summers, heavy rain and mild winters in classic termite-and-ant country. The pests that follow from that — subterranean termites, mosquitoes and red imported fire ants above all — are the ones local providers spend their year on in Scott County.

It is one of 6 counties that make up the Lexington-Fayette metro area, and pest services here are delivered by providers based in that metro, working to Kentucky licensing rules.
There is a useful way to locate Scott County in the metro's pest geography: about 16 miles northwest of Lexington, holding roughly 19% of the metro counties' combined land area. A mid-sized county for this metro.
