Counties We Cover in Nevada

Start from the county. In Nevada, 4 counties fall inside the metros PestReach USA covers — the Las Vegas, Reno areas among them — adding up to about 16,474 square miles. Pest pressure is read at this level because it is the level providers work at: routes, licensing and local rules all resolve to county and metro long before they resolve to state.

The counties around a metro's core are often where the pressure is most interesting — newer subdivisions built into former farmland and woodland meet established pest populations at the edge, while the urban core deals with the pests of density. Each county page reads its own position in that pattern.

By land, the covered counties run from Clark County (7,892 sq mi), Washoe County (6,316 sq mi), Lyon County (2,003 sq mi) down to Storey County at about 264 square miles. The metros anchoring coverage are Las Vegas (metro population 2,407,226; 1 covered county in Nevada); Reno (metro population 578,734; 3 covered counties in Nevada). 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.

The state's pest calendar is anchored by its largest metro, Las Vegas: about 4 inches of precipitation a year, an average temperature near 69°F, roughly 136 days at 90°F or above and 11 days at or below freezing. Every county in this index lives inside that weather pattern, adjusted by its own distance from the metro core.
