Mississippi has 20 counties inside the metro areas this site covers — together about 12,288 square miles of the state, organised around the Jackson, Gulfport–Biloxi, Hattiesburg metro areas. County pages exist because pest work is local at exactly this scale: licensing is by state, wildlife rules can vary locally, and a provider's actual service routes follow county and metro lines rather than state borders. Find your county below for its pest pressure profile and the metro guides that serve it.
Read down the list and the pattern is geographic: the counties nearest a metro core carry its density problems, the outer counties carry the edge-of-development ones — new subdivisions against farmland and woodland — and every county page on this index sets out which pattern applies there, and why.
By land, the covered counties run from Yazoo County (922 sq mi), Hinds County (870 sq mi), Copiah County (777 sq mi) down to Tate County at about 405 square miles. The metros anchoring coverage are Jackson (metro population 609,847; 8 covered counties in Mississippi); Gulfport–Biloxi (metro population 431,329; 4 covered counties in Mississippi); Hattiesburg (metro population 158,014; 3 covered counties in Mississippi). Those numbers are the frame for everything on the county pages below: area sets how rural a county reads, the metro sets its pest calendar, and the two together set what providers actually deal with there.
Weather sets the calendar, and in Jackson — the state's anchor metro — it reads: 57 inches of precipitation annually, average temperatures around 65°F, 85 days reaching 90°F and 40 freezing days. The counties below share that regime; what changes county to county is housing, land and distance from the core.
