Jake Murray with his family in Stillwater, Oklahoma
Jake Murray
Owner & Founder — Murray Pest Control
Jake Murray didn’t stumble into pest control — he studied for it. After earning his Bachelor of Science in Entomology from Oklahoma State University in 2008, Jake returned to Stillwater with a deep, science-based understanding of the insects and pests that Oklahoma homeowners and businesses deal with every day.
That academic foundation is what sets Murray Pest Control apart. Jake knows pest biology, behavior, and lifecycle at a level most pest control technicians never reach — and it shows in the quality of every inspection, treatment plan, and follow-up service his team provides.

🏠 About Jake
A proud Oklahoman, Jake is married and raising five kids in the Stillwater community he serves. When he’s not protecting local homes and businesses from pests, he’s invested in family and community — the same values that drive how Murray Pest Control treats every customer.
Why an Entomology Degree Matters for Pest Control
Most pest control is reactive — spray and hope. Jake’s entomology background means Murray Pest Control takes a different approach: understanding why pests behave the way they do, where they nest, how they reproduce, and what treatments actually work at the colony level — not just on the surface.
It’s the reason we use the Sentricon® System for termites instead of outdated liquid barriers. It’s the reason our treatments last. And it’s the reason customers in Stillwater, Edmond, and across Oklahoma keep calling us back.
🏙 Community Involvement
Murray Pest Control isn’t just a business in Stillwater — it’s part of the community. Jake and his team give back in a few meaningful ways:
❤ Habitat for Humanity
Murray Pest Control partners with Habitat for Humanity, supporting their mission to build safe, affordable homes for families in need right here in our community.
⚽ Stillwater Soccer Club
Jake and his crew help maintain the new soccer fields for the Stillwater Soccer Club — keeping the grounds healthy and pest-free so Stillwater’s kids have great fields to play on.
“We live here, our kids go to school here, and we play soccer on these same fields. Taking care of this community isn’t a marketing line — it’s just what you do.”
