Start a pest map of the Washington–Arlington–Alexandria metro and Montgomery County is one of its pieces: 493 square miles where the metro's climate lands on this county's own mix of subdivisions, older streets and open ground.
In Montgomery County the pattern is set overhead and underfoot: humid summers and cold winters that swing pressure between termites, ticks and overwintering invaders above, and housing that gives those pests their harbourage below. subterranean termites and ticks are where the two meet most often.
