Providers plan their work county by county, and Franklin County — 631 square miles inside the Burlington–South Burlington metro — is planned around the same weather and housing forces as the rest of the metro, felt at this county's own addresses.
What shapes pest pressure in Franklin County is the same force that shapes it across the metro: four full seasons — summer ticks and carpenter ants, fall invasions, winter rodent pressure. Expect carpenter ants and ticks to lead the call log, with house mice close behind.
The county's vital statistics: 631 square miles (the 11th largest of 14 in Vermont), centred at 44.86° N, 72.91° W, and one of the 3 counties composing the Burlington–South Burlington metro. Pest work here is done by metro-based providers under Vermont rules.
Franklin County sits roughly 14 miles northeast of Burlington. Its 631 square miles make up about 50% of the land in the metro's county footprint, which places it one of the metro's larger counties by land. For pest control, position is practical information: routes, response times and even the dominant pest mix shift across a metro this size, and Franklin County's slot in it — its distance from the core, its share of the metro's land, its own balance of dense streets and open ground — is the context every local inspection starts from.

Every figure here is specific to Franklin County — Census land and position data, read against its metro. That position, 1st of 3 metro counties by land and about 14 miles northeast of Burlington, is the frame the pest pressure on this page is read in.
Within the same metro, Grand Isle County (82 sq mi) lies about 20 miles to the west; Chittenden County (537 sq mi) lies about 28 miles to the south — each with its own county page in this index, because pest pressure is read county by county even when the metro is shared.
The Utica, NY metro centre is about 149 miles to the southwest; the Albany, NY metro centre is about 154 miles to the south; the Manchester, NH metro centre is about 147 miles to the southeast. 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 Franklin County's edge can sit closer to a neighbouring metro's crews than to its own.
