On the map, Frederick County is 661 square miles of Maryland — the 1st largest county in the state by land area on Census figures — with its centre near 39.47° N, 77.40° W. The Washington–Arlington–Alexandria metro counts 23 counties, and providers serve this one from that metro under Maryland licensing.
From Washington, Frederick County lies about 46 miles to the north. Counties are not equal shares of a metro: at 661 square miles, Frederick County accounts for around 11% of the total county land in this one, and it is one of the metro's larger counties by land. Pest pressure tracks those proportions loosely but honestly — more open land means more wildlife and field-pest interface; tighter settlement means more of the pests of density — and Frederick County's blend of the two is its own.
