Start a pest map of the Virginia Beach–Norfolk–Newport News metro and Gloucester County is one of its pieces: 218 square miles where the metro's climate lands on this county's own mix of subdivisions, older streets and open ground.
Ask what drives pest calls in Gloucester County and the answer starts with the metro's climate — hot humid summers, heavy rain and mild winters in classic termite-and-ant country — and ends at the specific roof lines, crawlspaces and yards where subterranean termites, mosquitoes and red imported fire ants find their openings.
Gloucester County covers 218 square miles of land — the 83rd largest of 133 counties in Virginia by land area, on US Census figures — centred near 37.40° N, 76.52° W. It is one of 18 counties that make up the Virginia Beach–Norfolk–Newport News metro area, and pest services here are delivered by providers based in that metro, working to Virginia licensing rules.
From Virginia Beach–Norfolk, Gloucester County lies about 32 miles to the north. Counties are not equal shares of a metro: at 218 square miles, Gloucester County accounts for around 7% of the total county land in this one, and it is a mid-sized county for this metro. 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 Gloucester County's blend of the two is its own.

Within the same metro, Suffolk city (399 sq mi) lies about 49 miles to the south; Surry County (279 sq mi) lies about 28 miles to the southwest; Virginia Beach city (245 sq mi) lies about 51 miles to the southeast; Williamsburg city (9 sq mi) lies about 14 miles to the southwest; York County (105 sq mi) lies about 14 miles to the southeast; Camden County (240 sq mi) lies about 76 miles to the south; Chesapeake city (338 sq mi) lies about 52 miles to the south; Currituck County (262 sq mi) lies about 78 miles to the southeast — and each is covered on its own county page, because a shared metro does not mean a shared pest picture.
The Richmond, VA metro centre is about 48 miles to the west; the Charlottesville, VA metro centre is about 117 miles to the west; the Lynchburg, VA metro centre is about 145 miles to the west. Those distances are the county's real geography, and pest work respects it: providers cross metro lines on their routes every week, and an address near Gloucester County's edge can sit closer to a neighbouring metro's crews than to its own.
