Hanover County does not have a separate pest problem from the Richmond metro — it has the local edition of it, printed across 468 square miles of Virginia.
In Hanover County the pattern is set overhead and underfoot: hot humid summers, heavy rain and mild winters in classic termite-and-ant country above, and housing that gives those pests their harbourage below. subterranean termites and mosquitoes are where the two meet most often.
The county's vital statistics: 468 square miles (the 33rd largest of 133 in Virginia), centred at 37.76° N, 77.49° W, and one of the 17 counties composing the Richmond metro. Pest work here is done by metro-based providers under Virginia rules.
There is a useful way to locate Hanover County in the metro's pest geography: about 25 miles north of Richmond, holding roughly 11% of the metro counties' combined land area. One of the metro's larger counties by land. 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 Hanover County like the urban core, or like open country, will misjudge half the addresses in it.
