The Hattiesburg metro spreads across several counties, and Lamar County — about 497 square miles of Mississippi — carries its full share of the region's pest pressure.
The county's homes sit in gulf humid country, where long, hot, humid summers and mild winters that let pests breed nearly year-round. The pests that follow from that — subterranean termites, Formosan termites and mosquitoes above all — are the ones local providers spend their year on in Lamar County.

Within the same metro, Forrest County (466 sq mi) lies about 15 miles to the east; Perry County (647 sq mi) lies about 31 miles to the east — and each is covered on its own county page, because a shared metro does not mean a shared pest picture.
The Gulfport–Biloxi, MS metro centre is about 54 miles to the southeast; the Jackson, MS metro centre is about 91 miles to the northwest; the Slidell, LA metro centre is about 61 miles to the southwest.
