Coverage in Ohio is organised county by county: 34 of them, roughly 15,711 square miles in all, tied to the Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland, Dayton, Akron, Toledo metro areas. That is the scale pest services actually run at — state licensing above, county and metro routes below — so each county below gets its own page: its pest pressure, its position in its metro, and the 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 Ashtabula County (702 sq mi), Licking County (682 sq mi), Trumbull County (618 sq mi) down to Lake County at about 229 square miles. The metros anchoring coverage are Cincinnati (metro population 2,312,858; 5 covered counties in Ohio); Columbus (metro population 2,242,028; 10 covered counties in Ohio); Cleveland (metro population 2,165,775; 6 covered counties in Ohio); Dayton (metro population 826,554; 3 covered counties in Ohio); Akron (metro population 701,780; 2 covered counties in Ohio); Toledo (metro population 599,376; 3 covered counties in Ohio); Youngstown (metro population 423,678; 2 covered counties in Ohio); Canton (metro population 400,246; 2 covered counties in Ohio). 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.
The state's pest calendar is anchored by its largest metro, Cincinnati: about 45 inches of precipitation a year, an average temperature near 55°F, roughly 22 days at 90°F or above and 100 days at or below freezing. Every county in this index lives inside that weather pattern, adjusted by its own distance from the metro core.
Statewide, the recurring names on county pages are carpenter ants, overwintering pests, house mice — the signature of midwest country. The biggest covered county, Ashtabula County (702 square miles), is served through the Cleveland metro; metro-level guides live on the Ohio state page.
The communities county residents actually name: Columbus (about 906,480 residents), Cleveland (about 367,523 residents), Cincinnati (about 309,595 residents), Toledo (about 268,461 residents), Akron (about 189,526 residents), Dayton (about 136,741 residents) are the largest covered communities on this index; each sits inside one of the counties above, and its county page carries the local pest reading for that ground.
