The county's vital statistics: 234 square miles (the 81st largest of 133 in Virginia), centred at 37.44° N, 77.30° W, and one of the 17 counties composing the Richmond metro. Pest work here is done by metro-based providers under Virginia rules.
From Richmond, Henrico County lies about 6 miles to the east. Counties are not equal shares of a metro: at 234 square miles, Henrico County accounts for around 5% 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 Henrico County's blend of the two is its own.
