York County — 991 square miles, centre near 43.43° N, 70.67° W, and the 9th largest of the state's 16 counties by land — belongs to the Portland–South Portland metro alongside 2 other counties. Local providers cover it from that metro, licensed under Maine rules.
There is a useful way to locate York County in the metro's pest geography: about 28 miles southwest of Portland, holding roughly 48% of the metro counties' combined land area. A mid-sized county for this metro. The consequence shows up in the work itself — properties here draw their pest pressure from both directions, the metro's and the countryside's, and a provider who treats York County like the urban core, or like open country, will misjudge half the addresses in it.
