The Atlantic City–Hammonton metro spreads across several counties, and Cape May County — about 252 square miles of New Jersey — carries its full share of the region's pest pressure.
The county's homes sit in northeast country, where four full seasons — summer ticks and carpenter ants, fall invasions, winter rodent pressure. The pests that follow from that — carpenter ants, ticks and house mice above all — are the ones local providers spend their year on in Cape May County.

Geography puts Cape May County about 14 miles southwest of Atlantic City, and that position inside the metro matters more than it might seem. At 31% of the metro's total county land area, Cape May County is a mid-sized county for this metro — and pest work here follows the settlement pattern: the closer a property sits to the metro's wooded and watered edges, the more its pressure resembles the countryside's; the closer to the core, the more it resembles the city's. Providers read the address before they read the pest, because in Cape May County the same species behaves differently at the two ends of that spectrum.
