What the register says about Murray Pest Defense
Murray Pest Defense holds company registration no. 9566 from the California Structural Pest Control Board (SPCB), Department of Consumer Affairs. Active on the SPCB licensee file dated 1 Aug 2026, with the licence expiry recorded as 31 Dec 2099. The original issue date on file is 29 Aug 2024, so the company registration was about 2 years old at the snapshot.
Its SPCB specialty is recorded as Pest Control, which covers pest control (branch 2). That specialty does not include Branch 3, the California termite specialty, so this licence does not cover termite inspection or treatment work.
The registered address is 805 1st Street West Apt J, Sonoma, CA 95476, in Sonoma County. That places it in the Santa Rosa-Petaluma, CA metropolitan area, where the CA register holds 56 licensed operators, 28 of them (50%) with the termite category.
The nearest other licensed operators on this register are Lomax Industries Termite Control (2.1 mi), Kens Pest Control (8.6 mi) and Termite Out Inc (8.8 mi); 5 sit within 50 miles. 2 of those neighbours hold the termite category.
For price context, our California cost sheet puts liquid termite treatment at $2,000 to $3,800, bait systems at $2,400 to $4,500 and tent fumigation at $4,000 to $9,000 statewide; the Bay Area / SF / Oakland row runs $2,400-$4,000 liquid, $2,800-$4,600 bait and $5,400-$9,200 tent.
