Start a pest map of the Hickory–Lenoir–Morganton metro and Alexander County is one of its pieces: 260 square miles where the metro's climate lands on this county's own mix of subdivisions, older streets and open ground.

Alexander County covers 260 square miles of land — the 88th largest of 100 counties in North Carolina by land area, on US Census figures — centred near 35.92° N, 81.18° W. It is one of 4 counties that make up the Hickory–Lenoir–Morganton metro area, and pest services here are delivered by providers based in that metro, working to North Carolina licensing rules.
From Hickory, Alexander County lies about 14 miles to the northeast. Counties are not equal shares of a metro: at 260 square miles, Alexander County accounts for around 16% of the total county land in this one, and it is a mid-sized county for this metro. 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 Alexander County's blend of the two is its own.

Within the same metro, Catawba County (401 sq mi) lies about 18 miles to the south; Burke County (506 sq mi) lies about 32 miles to the west; Caldwell County (472 sq mi) lies about 19 miles to the west — every one of them profiled on its own page here — the metro is shared, but the reading is county by county.
The Charlotte, NC metro centre is about 54 miles to the southeast; the Winston-Salem, NC metro centre is about 45 miles to the east; the Asheville, NC metro centre is about 81 miles to the west.
