Start a pest map of the Columbus metro and Franklin County is one of its pieces: 532 square miles where the metro's climate lands on this county's own mix of subdivisions, older streets and open ground.
Franklin County's pest calendar is the regional one with a local accent: hot humid summers and deep-freeze winters that push pests indoors in waves, and the work concentrates on carpenter ants first, overwintering pests second, and house mice never far behind.
Franklin County — 532 square miles, centre near 39.97° N, 83.01° W, and the 17th largest of the state's 88 counties by land — belongs to the Columbus metro alongside 9 other counties. Local providers cover it from that metro, licensed under Ohio rules.

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 Franklin County's blend of the two is its own.
