Geography puts Putnam County about 37 miles east of Huntington, and that position inside the metro matters more than it might seem. At 12% of the metro's total county land area, Putnam 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 Putnam County the same species behaves differently at the two ends of that spectrum.
