The Richmond metro spreads across several counties, and King and Queen County — about 315 square miles of Virginia — carries its full share of the region's pest pressure.
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 King and Queen County.
King and Queen County covers 315 square miles of land — the 65th largest of 133 counties in Virginia by land area, on US Census figures — centred near 37.72° N, 76.91° W. It is one of 17 counties that make up the Richmond metro area, and pest services here are delivered by providers based in that metro, working to Virginia licensing rules.
Geography puts King and Queen County about 35 miles northeast of Richmond, and that position inside the metro matters more than it might seem. At 7% of the metro's total county land area, King and Queen County is a mid-sized county for this metro — and pest work here follows the settlement pattern: the closer a property sits to the metro's wooded and watered edges, the more its pressure resembles the countryside's; the closer to the core, the more it resembles the city's. Providers read the address before they read the pest, because in King and Queen County the same species behaves differently at the two ends of that spectrum.

Within the same metro, New Kent County (210 sq mi) lies about 15 miles to the south; Petersburg city (23 sq mi) lies about 44 miles to the southwest; Powhatan County (260 sq mi) lies about 56 miles to the west; Prince George County (265 sq mi) lies about 41 miles to the southwest; Richmond city (60 sq mi) lies about 34 miles to the west; Sussex County (490 sq mi) lies about 58 miles to the south; Amelia County (355 sq mi) lies about 65 miles to the southwest; Charles City County (183 sq mi) lies about 26 miles to the south — and each is covered on its own county page, because a shared metro does not mean a shared pest picture.
The Virginia Beach–Norfolk, VA metro centre is about 59 miles to the southeast; the Charlottesville, VA metro centre is about 91 miles to the west; the Lynchburg, VA metro centre is about 125 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 King and Queen County's edge can sit closer to a neighbouring metro's crews than to its own.
