Virginia county coverage

Coverage in Virginia is organised county by county: 75 of them, roughly 19,012 square miles in all, tied to the Virginia Beach–Norfolk, Richmond, Roanoke, Lynchburg, Charlottesville, Blacksburg metro areas. That is the scale pest services actually run at — state licensing above, county and metro routes below — so each county below gets its own page: its pest pressure, its position in its metro, and the guides that serve it.

The counties around a metro's core are often where the pressure is most interesting — newer subdivisions built into former farmland and woodland meet established pest populations at the edge, while the urban core deals with the pests of density. Each county page reads its own position in that pattern.

By land, the covered counties run from Bedford County (760 sq mi), Albemarle County (720 sq mi), Franklin County (691 sq mi) down to Falls Church city at about 2 square miles. The metros anchoring coverage are Virginia Beach–Norfolk (metro population 1,797,213; 15 covered counties in Virginia); Richmond (metro population 1,389,338; 17 covered counties in Virginia); Roanoke (metro population 316,547; 6 covered counties in Virginia); Lynchburg (metro population 269,169; 5 covered counties in Virginia); Charlottesville (metro population 228,597; 5 covered counties in Virginia); Blacksburg (metro population 181,616; 5 covered counties in Virginia); Winchester (metro population 152,332; 2 covered counties in Virginia). Those numbers are the frame for everything on the county pages below: area sets how rural a county reads, the metro sets its pest calendar, and the two together set what providers actually deal with there.

Weather sets the calendar, and in Virginia Beach–Norfolk — the state's anchor metro — it reads: 46 inches of precipitation annually, average temperatures around 61°F, 42 days reaching 90°F and 32 freezing days. The counties below share that regime; what changes county to county is housing, land and distance from the core.
