Start a pest map of the Charlottesville metro and Albemarle County is one of its pieces: 720 square miles where the metro's climate lands on this county's own mix of subdivisions, older streets and open ground.
The county's homes sit in southeast country, where hot humid summers, heavy rain and mild winters in classic termite-and-ant country. The pests that follow from that — subterranean termites, mosquitoes and red imported fire ants above all — are the ones local providers spend their year on in Albemarle County.
Albemarle County covers 720 square miles of land — the 6th largest of 133 counties in Virginia by land area, on US Census figures — centred near 38.02° N, 78.55° W. It is one of 5 counties that make up the Charlottesville metro area, and pest services here are delivered by providers based in that metro, working to Virginia licensing rules.
From Charlottesville, Albemarle County lies about 2 miles to the northwest. Counties are not equal shares of a metro: at 720 square miles, Albemarle County accounts for around 44% 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 Albemarle County's blend of the two is its own.
