Murphy Homeowner's Guide To Preventing Cockroaches
Cockroaches are some of the most tenacious pests in the Murphy area. Once they’ve started to infest local homes, getting rid of them can be a challenge. Roaches are also the source of many harmful pathogens like giardia, E. coli, listeria, and much more.
In order to prevent these sorts of issues, try the following tips:
- Be mindful of cleanliness: While there are more factors that attract cockroaches than hygiene, it’s a good place to start. Disinfect your kitchen and floors on a regular basis, paying extra attention to crumbs and spills. It may also be helpful to limit food consumption to one room in order to limit the spread of crumbs.
- Tend to moisture: Cockroaches can’t live for long without access to water, and it’s one of the factors that attracts them in the first place. Keep closets, areas around washing machines, and basements well-ventilated, and if there are any leaky pipes, fix them entirely.
- Examine packages: Before bringing any packages inside off of the porch, check them for signs of cockroach activity.
- Store food properly: It’s also imperative that all food items, whether snacks, baking ingredients, or leftovers, be kept in containers with tight-fitting lids.

Murphy, TX Homeowners Guide To Avoiding Termites
Termites are destructive pests that live in large numbers throughout Texas. Wood-eating termites are not an easy pest to deal with, but by working with a professional, it is easy to protect your home from termites and their damage. In addition to partnering with Adams Exterminating Company, some things you can do around your property to avoid problems with termites include:
- Remove fallen trees, tree limbs, tree stumps, and piles of organic debris that termites could feed on from your property.
- Use wood mulch in minimal amounts near your house. Leave at least an 18-inch barrier between any mulch and your home’s foundation.
- Maintain gutters and make sure they are directing water away from your house.
- Cut plant vegetation back away from the exterior of your home.
- Fix leaky pipes and fixtures.
- Use dehumidifiers to reduce moisture levels in your home. Additionally, make sure crawl spaces are adequately ventilated.

Is your treatment safe around pets?Our general treatments are safe around dogs and cats – provided they do not intentionally contact or consume applied materials before they have dried. Certain pets, especially aquatic life and reptiles, are especially vulnerable to some pesticides so it is important to be especially careful while treating when these types of pets are present. We recommend these types of pets, in addition to birds, guinea pigs, and other small animals, be kept away from the treatment area until it is safe for them to return.
-
What are your hours?Our offices in both Lewisville, TX and Denton, TX are open Monday-Friday from 8am-5pm.
-
Are the products/chemicals you use safe?All of the products that we use have undergone extensive testing and have been approved for use by the EPA. Instead of using generic products, we believe in purchasing the best available chemicals that have been manufactured by well-known companies such as Bayer, BASF, and Dow. Additionally, all of our service programs are designed to be effective, safe, and environmentally responsible and all of the products we use are chosen to that end. When used properly by a licensed professional, they pose practically no risk to our customers or their children or pets.
Four Common Rodents Found In Murphy
Rodents are a category of pest that can wreak havoc on Murphy properties. Here are four types that people might encounter:
- Mice: The house mouse is one of the more common species of mouse that live in this area. They are pocket-sized and have very small, subtle features. Mice in general are able to fit through openings that are the size of a dime. They often create their nests inside of insulation or other quiet places.
- Rats: There are many different types of rats in Murphy, such as the Norway rat, roof rat, and wood rat. All are larger than mice and are known for their long, hairless tails. Rats have the ability to scale houses and use sewer systems to enter homes.
- Pocket gophers: Pocket gophers may grind at tree trunks and burrow beneath the ground, leading to unsightly mounds.
- Squirrels: This type of rodent is easily spotted by its bushy tail and proclivity for climbing trees. Squirrels often eat with their hands and stand up tall. They may create trouble by chewing on electrical wires.
