Homes and pests in Frayser and Raleigh

Frayser and Raleigh are the neighborhoods of north and northeast Memphis, either side of the Wolf River. The Census counts about 35,721 homes here, 24,940 of them single-family detached (ACS 2020-2024).

Most homes here went up between the 1950s and the 1970s. Houses that age often have worn door sweeps, gaps where pipes enter, and wood siding or trim near the ground, which is how roaches and termites find their way in, and mice too. Vacant lots and creeks nearby add rats and mosquitoes.

Housing here is a mix: about 71% built before 1980 and 6% in 2000 or later. Older homes tend to have more gaps at doors and vents; newer ones still let ants and spiders in at garage seals and slab edges.

The weather is the same story across the county. Memphis averages about 56 inches of rain a year and 92 nights that stay at 70°F or warmer (NOAA, 1996 to 2025), and only 6 nights a year reach 20°F. The state's charter list shows 6 chartered pest control offices based in these ZIPs, though most companies work the whole county.

Questions homeowners ask

Do you cover all of Frayser and Raleigh?

Yes, including ZIPs 38127, 38128. The company confirms your address when they call.

How fast can someone come out?

It depends on the company's schedule and the problem. Say in your request if it's urgent, like wasps by the door or a rodent in the living area.

Do I get a price first?

Ask for one. Companies can inspect and quote before treating. If you only want a price, pick that option in the form.

How do I check the company?

Ask for its Tennessee charter number, which must be on the company vehicle, and look it up in the Department of Agriculture's public charter search.
