The Boston–Cambridge–Newton metro spreads across several counties, and Middlesex County — about 818 square miles of Massachusetts — carries its full share of the region's pest pressure.
Read Middlesex County's pest list off its geography: four full seasons — summer ticks and carpenter ants, fall invasions, winter rodent pressure, and the result is a calendar dominated by carpenter ants, ticks and house mice.
The county's vital statistics: 818 square miles (the 3rd largest of 14 in Massachusetts), centred at 42.48° N, 71.39° W, and one of the 7 counties composing the Boston–Cambridge–Newton metro. Pest work here is done by metro-based providers under Massachusetts rules.
Middlesex County sits roughly 18 miles west of Boston. Its 818 square miles make up about 23% of the land in the metro's county footprint, which places it one of the metro's larger counties by land. For pest control, position is practical information: routes, response times and even the dominant pest mix shift across a metro this size, and Middlesex County's slot in it — its distance from the core, its share of the metro's land, its own balance of dense streets and open ground — is the context every local inspection starts from.

Within the same metro, Norfolk County (396 sq mi) lies about 24 miles to the southeast; Plymouth County (659 sq mi) lies about 48 miles to the southeast; Rockingham County (695 sq mi) lies about 38 miles to the northeast; Strafford County (367 sq mi) lies about 59 miles to the north; Suffolk County (58 sq mi) lies about 22 miles to the southeast; Essex County (493 sq mi) lies about 29 miles to the northeast — and each is covered on its own county page, because a shared metro does not mean a shared pest picture.
The Worcester, MA metro centre is about 30 miles to the southwest; the Barnstable Town, MA metro centre is about 83 miles to the southeast; the Amherst, MA metro centre is about 65 miles to the west. 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 Middlesex County's edge can sit closer to a neighbouring metro's crews than to its own.
