How it started
Jeff Murray Jr. began his career in the pest control industry in 1972. After gaining years of hands-on experience and state licensing in pest management and wood-destroying insects, he founded Murray Exterminating Company Inc. in 1980.
He began the business with a used truck, a new tank, and a motto we still use today: “Don’t Worry — Call Murray.”
What started as a one-man operation with a single truck has grown into a trusted local company with trained professionals and long-standing customer relationships—while still maintaining the same values it was built on.
Founded in Wallace, NC, our mission has always been simple: provide dependable, effective, and affordable pest management services while treating every customer with honesty and respect.
From residential homes to commercial properties, we help protect what matters most using proven methods, modern technology, and environmentally responsible solutions.
