Homes and pests in North Memphis

North Memphis runs from the neighborhoods north of Downtown out along Jackson Avenue and Summer Avenue to Nutbush and Berclair. The Census counts about 25,980 homes here, 18,934 of them single-family detached (ACS 2020-2024).

Housing here is mostly from the 1940s and 1950s: small frame and brick homes on crawlspaces and slabs. Older crawlspaces stay damp in a Memphis summer, which favors termites and the big outdoor roaches, and houses this age often need gaps sealed before rodent treatment will last.

About 63% of homes here were built before 1960. In a house that old, check the crawlspace or the base of the walls first: wood sills and piers near damp soil are where termites start, and gaps under doors let in mice and roaches.

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 9 chartered pest control offices based in these ZIPs, though most companies work the whole county.

Ask for an inspection

How it works

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

Questions homeowners ask

Do you cover all of North Memphis?

Yes, including ZIPs 38107, 38108, 38122. 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.
