Memphis East lies between the downtown core and the Germantown and Cordova suburbs, in the 38117, 38119, 38120 and 38122 ZIP codes. It is on the Tennessee side of the state line, and work here is licensed under Tennessee's rules. The call line routes these ZIP codes to a technician who holds the Tennessee credential and who can plan a survey from the first call.
Memphis East is the part of the city that lies between the downtown core and the suburbs of Germantown and Cordova. It is a broad area with a range of land uses, and its position means that a caller here is between the metro's center and its eastern edge. The call line serves the four ZIP codes, 38117, 38119, 38120 and 38122, with a technician who holds the Tennessee licence for the work.
A call from this side of the city is treated like any other Tennessee call. The technician asks for the ZIP and the building type, confirms the licence that covers the work, and arranges the survey. The method is the same as in DeSoto County: identify the pest, trace its route, find the harborage and treat only where the evidence is found.
Call (855) 974-4733 at any hour and give the ZIP first. The technician will explain the licence and the plan before a visit is booked, and can say which steps can be done at the same visit and which need a second one.
Local weather drives activity here: heat, humidity and rain change what shows up week to week.
Memphis East sits between two different kinds of market. Toward the core, the buildings are denser and the calls are more often commercial or multi-unit. Toward Germantown and Cordova, more of the calls come from houses with yards. A pest plan that works in one part of the area may need changing in the other, and the survey is written for the building in front of the technician.
For a caller, the practical effect is that the first question concerns the building type. A food business in the core and a house with a garden in the suburbs have different routes and different treatments, and the call line asks which one the caller has before booking.
Interstate 40 carries traffic through the eastern suburbs, and that traffic moves goods and people around the metro. A delivery of furniture, pallets or landscape timber from elsewhere in the region can carry pests into a building that has no earlier history of them. The survey asks about recent deliveries, and the wood is checked when it is new to the property.
MSU Extension's older 2006 newsletter says long-distance spread of termites is mainly through infested wood products. A caller who has moved timber or a stack of reclaimed lumber into a yard should mention it at the first call, so the review can record it.
The east side of Memphis is served by a technician who holds the Tennessee licence, and the call line confirms that before any visit is booked. A caller who lives in the east and works on the Mississippi side should say so, because a pest carried from the workplace is common and the record for each site should be kept apart.
The survey follows the building. A house is inspected for its foundation, garage and yard; a commercial site for its receiving area and its shared walls; and a rental unit for the adjoining units that share a structure with it.

The method is the same. The licence and the record are different, because the work is performed under Tennessee's rules and is recorded with the Tennessee licence that covers it.
