Union County is one of the counties that make up the Sioux City metro. Across its roughly 461 square miles, the pest story is the regional story told at county scale.
Union 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.
Union County covers 461 square miles of land — the 62nd largest of 66 counties in South Dakota by land area, on US Census figures — centred near 42.83° N, 96.65° W. It is one of 3 counties that make up the Sioux City metro area, and pest services here are delivered by providers based in that metro, working to South Dakota licensing rules.
Geography puts Union County about 23 miles northwest of Sioux City, and that position inside the metro matters more than it might seem. At 29% of the metro's total county land area, Union County is a mid-sized county for this metro — and pest work here follows the settlement pattern: the closer a property sits to the metro's wooded and watered edges, the more its pressure resembles the countryside's; the closer to the core, the more it resembles the city's. Providers read the address before they read the pest, because in Union County the same species behaves differently at the two ends of that spectrum.

Within the same metro, Dakota County (264 sq mi) lies about 31 miles to the south; Woodbury County (873 sq mi) lies about 43 miles to the southeast — every one of them profiled on its own page here — the metro is shared, but the reading is county by county.
The Des Moines, IA metro centre is about 170 miles to the southeast; the Waterloo, IA metro centre is about 213 miles to the east; the Cedar Rapids, IA metro centre is about 263 miles to the east. Those distances are the county's real geography, and pest work respects it: providers cross metro lines on their routes every week, and an address near Union County's edge can sit closer to a neighbouring metro's crews than to its own.
