Start a pest map of the Des Moines–West Des Moines metro and Dallas County is one of its pieces: 588 square miles where the metro's climate lands on this county's own mix of subdivisions, older streets and open ground.
Ask what drives pest calls in Dallas County and the answer starts with the metro's climate — hot humid summers and deep-freeze winters that push pests indoors in waves — and ends at the specific roof lines, crawlspaces and yards where carpenter ants, overwintering pests and house mice find their openings.
On the map, Dallas County is 588 square miles of Iowa — the 24th largest county in the state by land area on Census figures — with its centre near 41.69° N, 94.04° W. The Des Moines–West Des Moines metro counts 6 counties, and providers serve this one from that metro under Iowa licensing.
There is a useful way to locate Dallas County in the metro's pest geography: about 15 miles northwest of Des Moines, holding roughly 16% of the metro counties' combined land area. A mid-sized county for this metro. 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 Dallas County like the urban core, or like open country, will misjudge half the addresses in it.

| Share of metro land | 16% |
| County centre | 41.69° N, 94.04° W |

Every figure here is specific to Dallas County — Census land and position data, read against its metro. That position, 3rd of 6 metro counties by land and about 15 miles northwest of Des Moines, is the frame the pest pressure on this page is read in.
Within the same metro, Jasper County (730 sq mi) lies about 51 miles to the east; Madison County (561 sq mi) lies about 25 miles to the south; Polk County (573 sq mi) lies about 24 miles to the east; Warren County (570 sq mi) lies about 35 miles to the southeast; Guthrie County (591 sq mi) lies about 24 miles to the west — and each is covered on its own county page, because a shared metro does not mean a shared pest picture.
From the centre of Dallas County, the Waterloo, IA metro centre is about 100 miles to the northeast; the Iowa City, IA metro centre is about 124 miles to the east; the Cedar Rapids, IA metro centre is about 129 miles to the east.
