What a Murphy house means for pests
Single-family, owner-run lots. Nearly every home here has its own yard, flowerbeds and sprinkler system, so the problem starts and ends on your lot. Moist mulch against the brick, sprinkler valve boxes and the AC pad are where ants, crickets and roaches gather.
Built mostly in the 2000s. Half the homes in 75094 were built in 2005 or later; 83 percent in 2000 or later. Houses of this age are tight, but expansion joints, the garage slab edge, weep holes and roof-line gaps around second-story walls remain the usual entries.
Two-story homes have big attics. Scorpions and roof rats both use attics, and Texas A&M AgriLife notes that scorpions move from hot attics into living areas in summer.

Around Murphy
Murphy is named for William Murphy, who gave land for a railroad depot in the 1880s, and was incorporated in 1958. Its neighbors are Sachse, Wylie, Plano and Parker. Most of its growth came after the turnpike opened, which is why the housing is so uniform.
On a newer Murphy lot, the most useful thing to tell the operator is what is against the house: mulch depth, rock beds, stacked pavers or firewood. Those are where the pests in the garage are coming from.

(866) 204-1244Questions people ask
Does 75094 cover Parker?
The western part of Parker uses 75094; most of Parker is in 75002. Both are covered.
Why so many crickets and scorpions in a new neighborhood?
Crickets breed in open ground and gather at lights, and scorpions follow them. Lots on the edge of open land or greenbelts see the most.
Should termite protection be renewed on a house from the 2000s?
Check what the builder installed and for how long. Treatments and bait warranties are time-limited, and a house of that age is often outside its original coverage.
