At 23% of the metro's total county land area, Russell County is one of the metro's larger counties by land — 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 Russell County the same species behaves differently at the two ends of that spectrum.
