The Durham–Chapel Hill metro spreads across several counties, and Person County — about 392 square miles of North Carolina — carries its full share of the region's pest pressure.
The county's homes sit in southeast country, where hot humid summers, heavy rain and mild winters in classic termite-and-ant country. The pests that follow from that — subterranean termites, mosquitoes and red imported fire ants above all — are the ones local providers spend their year on in Person County.
The county's vital statistics: 392 square miles (the 65th largest of 100 in North Carolina), centred at 36.39° N, 78.97° 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.
From Durham, Person County lies about 24 miles to the north. Counties are not equal shares of a metro: at 392 square miles, Person County accounts for around 22% of the total county land in this one, and it is a mid-sized county for this metro. Pest pressure tracks those proportions loosely but honestly — more open land means more wildlife and field-pest interface; tighter settlement means more of the pests of density — and Person County's blend of the two is its own.
