Providers plan their work county by county, and Clarke County — 176 square miles inside the Washington–Arlington–Alexandria metro — is planned around the same weather and housing forces as the rest of the metro, felt at this county's own addresses.
Clarke County's pest calendar is the regional one with a local accent: humid summers and cold winters that swing pressure between termites, ticks and overwintering invaders, and the work concentrates on subterranean termites first, ticks second, and carpenter ants never far behind.
On the map, Clarke County is 176 square miles of Virginia — the 91st largest county in the state by land area on Census figures — with its centre near 39.12° N, 77.99° W. The Washington–Arlington–Alexandria metro counts 23 counties, and providers serve this one from that metro under Virginia licensing.
There is a useful way to locate Clarke County in the metro's pest geography: about 35 miles northwest of Washington, holding roughly 3% of the metro counties' combined land area. A mid-sized county for this metro. The consequence shows up in the work itself — properties here draw their pest pressure from both directions, the metro's and the countryside's, and a provider who treats Clarke County like the urban core, or like open country, will misjudge half the addresses in it.
