Homes and pests in Millington

Millington is the city in northern Shelby County, home to Naval Support Activity Mid-South. The Census counts about 10,900 homes here, 8,436 of them single-family detached (ACS 2020-2024).

Housing is a mix of older homes near the city center and newer subdivisions, many on crawlspaces. Rural edges and wooded lots mean more mice and mosquitoes than in the urban core. Military families moving in and out often ask for an inspection before signing a lease or buying.

Housing here is a mix: about 50% built before 1980 and 17% 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 this ZIP, though most companies work the whole county.

Ask for an inspection

How it works

  1. Tell us what you're seeing. Use the form, or text us a photo of the bug.

  3. Ask for a free inspection and a price. Nothing is treated until you say yes.

Questions homeowners ask

Do you cover all of Millington?

Yes, including ZIP 38053. 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.
