Providers plan their work county by county, and Luzerne County — 890 square miles inside the Scranton–Wilkes-Barre metro — is planned around the same weather and housing forces as the rest of the metro, felt at this county's own addresses.
The county's homes sit in midatlantic country, where humid summers and cold winters that swing pressure between termites, ticks and overwintering invaders. The pests that follow from that — subterranean termites, ticks and carpenter ants above all — are the ones local providers spend their year on in Luzerne County.
Luzerne County covers 890 square miles of land — the 14th largest of 67 counties in Pennsylvania by land area, on US Census figures — centred near 41.17° N, 75.98° W. It is one of 3 counties that make up the Scranton–Wilkes-Barre metro area, and pest services here are delivered by providers based in that metro, working to Pennsylvania licensing rules.
From Scranton, Luzerne County lies about 15 miles to the south. Counties are not equal shares of a metro: at 890 square miles, Luzerne County accounts for around 51% of the total county land in this one, and it is one of the metro's larger counties by land. 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 Luzerne County's blend of the two is its own.
