Onondaga County covers about 778 square miles of New York and sits inside the Syracuse metro area, which means its pest pressure is the metro's pressure — read through Onondaga County's own landscape of homes, lots and green edges.
Onondaga County's pest calendar is the regional one with a local accent: four full seasons — summer ticks and carpenter ants, fall invasions, winter rodent pressure, and the work concentrates on carpenter ants first, ticks second, and house mice never far behind.
Onondaga County covers 778 square miles of land — the 27th largest of 62 counties in New York by land area, on US Census figures — centred near 43.01° N, 76.20° W. It is one of 3 counties that make up the Syracuse metro area, and pest services here are delivered by providers based in that metro, working to New York licensing rules.
Geography puts Onondaga County about 12 miles southwest of Syracuse, and that position inside the metro matters more than it might seem. At 33% of the metro's total county land area, Onondaga 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 Onondaga County the same species behaves differently at the two ends of that spectrum.

Within the same metro, Madison County (655 sq mi) lies about 28 miles to the east; Oswego County (952 sq mi) lies about 31 miles to the north — and each is covered on its own county page, because a shared metro does not mean a shared pest picture.
