North Carolina has 43 counties inside the metro areas this site covers — together about 21,468 square miles of the state, organised around the Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Durham, Wilmington 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.
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 Pender County (871 sq mi), Brunswick County (850 sq mi), Wake County (835 sq mi) down to New Hanover County at about 192 square miles. The metros anchoring coverage are Charlotte (metro population 2,938,830; 8 covered counties in North Carolina); Raleigh (metro population 1,595,720; 3 covered counties in North Carolina); Greensboro (metro population 805,945; 3 covered counties in North Carolina); Winston-Salem (metro population 712,206; 5 covered counties in North Carolina); Durham (metro population 625,485; 4 covered counties in North Carolina); Wilmington (metro population 492,772; 3 covered counties in North Carolina); Asheville (metro population 422,345; 3 covered counties in North Carolina); Fayetteville (metro population 395,412; 2 covered counties in North Carolina); Hickory (metro population 376,890; 4 covered counties in North Carolina); Jacksonville (metro population 217,175; 1 covered county in North Carolina); Burlington (metro population 186,177; 1 covered county in North Carolina); Greenville (metro population 182,936; 1 covered county in North Carolina); Rocky Mount (metro population 148,486; 2 covered counties in North Carolina). 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 Charlotte — the state's anchor metro — it reads: 44 inches of precipitation annually, average temperatures around 61°F, 49 days reaching 90°F and 58 freezing days. The counties below share that regime; what changes county to county is housing, land and distance from the core.
Statewide, the recurring names on county pages are subterranean termites, mosquitoes, red imported fire ants — the signature of southeast country. The biggest covered county, Pender County (871 square miles), is served through the Wilmington metro; metro-level guides live on the North Carolina state page.
The communities county residents actually name: Charlotte (about 886,283 residents), Raleigh (about 470,763 residents), Greensboro (about 298,564 residents), Durham (about 288,465 residents), Winston-Salem (about 250,887 residents), Fayetteville (about 209,692 residents) are among the largest covered places in the state, and every one of them routes through the county pages above — find the community on its county page for the local reading.
