Providers plan their work county by county, and Harris County — 1,707 square miles inside the Houston–Pasadena–The Woodlands metro — is planned around the same weather and housing forces as the rest of the metro, felt at this county's own addresses.
In Harris County the pattern is set overhead and underfoot: long, hot, humid summers and mild winters that let pests breed nearly year-round above, and housing that gives those pests their harbourage below. subterranean termites and Formosan termites are where the two meet most often.
Harris County — 1,707 square miles, centre near 29.86° N, 95.39° W, and the 14th largest of the state's 254 counties by land — belongs to the Houston–Pasadena–The Woodlands metro alongside 9 other counties. Local providers cover it from that metro, licensed under Texas rules.
There is a useful way to locate Harris County in the metro's pest geography: about 1 miles north of Houston, holding roughly 19% of the metro counties' combined land area. One of the metro's larger counties by land. The consequence shows up in the work itself — properties here draw their pest pressure from both directions, the metro's and the countryside's, and a provider who treats Harris County like the urban core, or like open country, will misjudge half the addresses in it.
| Land area | 1,707 sq mi |
|---|---|
| Rank by area in state | 14th of 254 counties |
| Rank by area in metro | 1st of 10 counties |
| Share of metro land | 19% |
| County centre | 29.86° N, 95.39° W |
| Distance to Houston | about 1 miles (north) |
| Counties in metro | 10 |
These are Harris County's own numbers, not the metro's: land, rank and position from Census data. Harris County sits 1st of 10 in its metro by land area, roughly 1 miles north of Houston — the coordinates its pest calendar is read from.
Within the same metro, Brazoria County (1,363 sq mi) lies about 48 miles to the south; Chambers County (597 sq mi) lies about 45 miles to the east; Fort Bend County (862 sq mi) lies about 32 miles to the southwest; Galveston County (379 sq mi) lies about 53 miles to the southeast; Liberty County (1,158 sq mi) lies about 39 miles to the northeast; Montgomery County (1,042 sq mi) lies about 31 miles to the north; San Jacinto County (569 sq mi) lies about 51 miles to the north; Waller County (513 sq mi) lies about 37 miles to the west — every one of them profiled on its own page here — the metro is shared, but the reading is county by county.
The Beaumont, TX metro centre is about 77 miles to the east; the College Station, TX metro centre is about 88 miles to the northwest; the Austin, TX metro centre is about 137 miles to the west. 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 Harris County's edge can sit closer to a neighbouring metro's crews than to its own.
