Roane County — 361 square miles, centre near 35.85° N, 84.52° W, and the 62nd largest of the state's 95 counties by land — belongs to the Knoxville metro alongside 8 other counties. Local providers cover it from that metro, licensed under Tennessee rules.
Geography puts Roane County about 27 miles southwest of Knoxville, and that position inside the metro matters more than it might seem. At 10% of the metro's total county land area, Roane 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 Roane County the same species behaves differently at the two ends of that spectrum.
