Oregon has 12 counties inside the metro areas this site covers — together about 21,438 square miles of the state, organised around the Portland, Salem, Eugene, Bend, Medford 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.
Read down the list and the pattern is geographic: the counties nearest a metro core carry its density problems, the outer counties carry the edge-of-development ones — new subdivisions against farmland and woodland — and every county page on this index sets out which pattern applies there, and why.
By land, the covered counties run from Lane County (4,554 sq mi), Deschutes County (3,018 sq mi), Crook County (2,979 sq mi) down to Multnomah County at about 431 square miles. The metros anchoring coverage are Portland (metro population 2,542,282; 5 covered counties in Oregon); Salem (metro population 445,814; 2 covered counties in Oregon); Eugene (metro population 381,584; 1 covered county in Oregon); Bend (metro population 266,376; 3 covered counties in Oregon); Medford (metro population 221,795; 1 covered county in Oregon). That is the arithmetic the county pages below work from: a county's size decides how spread out the addresses are, its metro decides the pest calendar, and neither number means much without the other.
The state's pest calendar is anchored by its largest metro, Portland: about 37 inches of precipitation a year, an average temperature near 54°F, roughly 15 days at 90°F or above and 45 days at or below freezing. Every county in this index lives inside that weather pattern, adjusted by its own distance from the metro core.
The pest signature across Oregon runs through pacific nw country, and the names that recur on county pages statewide are carpenter and moisture ants, carpenter ants, house mice. The largest covered county in the state is Lane County at about 4,554 square miles, served through the Eugene metro. For metro-level guides, see the Oregon state page.
The communities county residents actually name: Portland (about 642,715 residents), Vancouver (about 192,696 residents), Eugene (about 177,520 residents), Salem (about 176,666 residents), Gresham (about 112,818 residents), Hillsboro (about 107,050 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.
