Start a pest map of the Knoxville metro and Blount County is one of its pieces: 559 square miles where the metro's climate lands on this county's own mix of subdivisions, older streets and open ground.
Blount County's pest calendar is the regional one with a local accent: hot humid summers, heavy rain and mild winters in classic termite-and-ant country, and the work concentrates on subterranean termites first, mosquitoes second, and red imported fire ants never far behind.
The county's vital statistics: 559 square miles (the 23rd largest of 95 in Tennessee), centred at 35.69° N, 83.92° W, and one of the 9 counties composing the Knoxville metro. Pest work here is done by metro-based providers under Tennessee rules.
Geography puts Blount County about 27 miles southeast of Knoxville, and that position inside the metro matters more than it might seem. At 16% of the metro's total county land area, Blount 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 Blount County the same species behaves differently at the two ends of that spectrum.
| Land area | 559 sq mi |
|---|---|
| Rank by area in state | 23rd of 95 counties |
| Rank by area in metro | 1st of 9 counties |
| Share of metro land | 16% |
| County centre | 35.69° N, 83.92° W |
| Distance to Knoxville | about 27 miles (southeast) |
| Counties in metro | 9 |
These are Blount County's own numbers, not the metro's: land, rank and position from Census data. Blount County sits 1st of 9 in its metro by land area, roughly 27 miles southeast of Knoxville — the coordinates its pest calendar is read from.
Within the same metro, Grainger County (281 sq mi) lies about 47 miles to the northeast; Knox County (508 sq mi) lies about 21 miles to the north; Loudon County (229 sq mi) lies about 22 miles to the west; Morgan County (522 sq mi) lies about 51 miles to the northwest; Roane County (361 sq mi) lies about 35 miles to the west; Union County (224 sq mi) lies about 41 miles to the north; Anderson County (337 sq mi) lies about 33 miles to the northwest; Campbell County (480 sq mi) lies about 51 miles to the north — and each is covered on its own county page, because a shared metro does not mean a shared pest picture.
From the centre of Blount County, the Johnson City, TN metro centre is about 96 miles to the northeast; the Chattanooga, TN metro centre is about 93 miles to the southwest; the Kingsport, TN metro centre is about 107 miles to the northeast.
