Durham County covers about 288 square miles of North Carolina and sits inside the Durham–Chapel Hill metro area, which means its pest pressure is the metro's pressure — read through Durham County's own landscape of homes, lots and green edges.
What shapes pest pressure in Durham County is the same force that shapes it across the metro: hot humid summers, heavy rain and mild winters in classic termite-and-ant country. Expect subterranean termites and mosquitoes to lead the call log, with red imported fire ants close behind.
The county's vital statistics: 288 square miles (the 84th largest of 100 in North Carolina), centred at 36.03° N, 78.88° W, and one of the 4 counties composing the Durham–Chapel Hill metro. Pest work here is done by metro-based providers under North Carolina rules.
Geography puts Durham County about 10 miles east of Durham, and that position inside the metro matters more than it might seem. At 16% of the metro's total county land area, Durham 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 Durham County the same species behaves differently at the two ends of that spectrum.

Every figure here is specific to Durham County — Census land and position data, read against its metro. That position, 4th of 4 metro counties by land and about 10 miles east of Durham, is the frame the pest pressure on this page is read in.
Within the same metro, Orange County (398 sq mi) lies about 14 miles to the west; Person County (392 sq mi) lies about 25 miles to the north; Chatham County (681 sq mi) lies about 31 miles to the southwest — every one of them profiled on its own page here — the metro is shared, but the reading is county by county.
The Burlington, NC metro centre is about 29 miles to the west; the Raleigh, NC metro centre is about 30 miles to the southeast; the Greensboro, NC metro centre is about 51 miles to the west. Those distances are the county's real geography, and pest work respects it: providers cross metro lines on their routes every week, and an address near Durham County's edge can sit closer to a neighbouring metro's crews than to its own.
