Camp Murray is a military headquarters, not a town.
Camp Murray is the headquarters of the Washington National Guard and the Washington Military Department, sitting adjacent to Joint Base Lewis-McChord. It is not an incorporated town, has no civilian mayor or city council, and we are not going to write it up as an ordinary residential community.
The 98430 ZIP appears in our coverage data, and we take calls associated with it, but Camp Murray itself is a controlled military facility. Access for outside service providers depends on the facility's own security procedures rather than a standard residential visit, and we tell callers that honestly rather than implying we can walk onto the property the way we would a regular home.
What we can realistically offer.
If you have a rodent concern connected to a Camp Murray facility, the first call should generally go to the installation's own facilities or logistics office. Work on a state military headquarters typically needs to be coordinated and authorized through official channels before any outside contractor is brought in. We are glad to discuss the situation by phone and explain what a visit would involve if authorization is arranged, but we do not want to overstate what we can do without that authorization in place.
| Situation | What we can offer | What to check first |
|---|---|---|
| A facility on Camp Murray itself | Phone consultation, service if authorized | Facility management or logistics office. |
| Civilian housing or business near the 98430 ZIP but off the facility | Standard residential or commercial service | No special authorization typically needed. |
| Uncertain whether an address is on the facility | Call and we will help sort out what applies | Your exact address. |
| A vendor or contractor already working on base | Coordination alongside existing base access | Whoever manages your existing base access. |
Civilian addresses near the 98430 ZIP.
Not every address associated with this ZIP is on the Camp Murray facility itself, and nearby civilian homes and businesses are covered the same way as any other part of our service area, with no special authorization needed. If your address is off the facility, tell us that clearly when you call so we can move straight to scheduling rather than working through base-access questions that do not apply to you.
Homes near the facility perimeter can still see the same kind of rodent activity as anywhere else in the region, including mice moving into a garage as fall rains set in or rats along a fence line near green space. Our mouse control and rat control services apply the standard way to those civilian addresses.
Not sure this matches what you are seeing? Describe it on the call and we will help you sort it out.
Call (888) 686-4821Vehicles and outdoor equipment near the perimeter.
Vehicles and equipment stored near the perimeter of a large facility like this can attract rodents the same way any parked car or storage area does elsewhere, particularly where dense vegetation buffers the property line. Our vehicle and car rodent removal service covers civilian vehicles affected by this kind of nearby pressure.
Commercial and support buildings nearby.
Support businesses and services that cluster near a large facility like this, such as suppliers or contractors with offices nearby, are treated as ordinary commercial properties under our commercial rodent control service as long as they sit off the secured facility itself. Tell us plainly whether your business address requires facility access or is simply nearby, since the two situations are handled very differently.
What we ask before scheduling.
Because this ZIP includes both a controlled military headquarters and civilian-adjacent addresses, we ask upfront whether your property is on the facility or off it, and if on the facility, who the point of contact is for authorizing outside work. This is simply an honest reflection of how access actually works here, not an attempt to complicate a straightforward call.
