Residential Pest Control
Our residential pest control protects homes against 28+ pests using integrated pest management. We focus on exterior barriers to prevent infestations while offering unlimited interior treatments as needed. Services include flea protection, rodent control, and quarterly scheduled visits. Technicians use gel baits and targeted treatments to minimize chemical exposure while ensuring comprehensive coverage for kitchens, plumbing entries, and storage areas.
Termite Protection
Specialized termite protection programs include WDIR inspections and retreatment guarantees. We use Termidor injection systems and perform detailed evaluations of foundations, eaves, and moisture-prone areas. Our state-certified technicians address both dry wood and subterranean termites while maintaining compliance with Louisiana Department of Agriculture regulations for real estate transactions and FEMA trailer inspections.
Mosquito Control
Mosquito protection combines exterior spraying with strategically placed mosquito pods covering 3,000 sq ft. Our quarterly treatments target breeding sites and hotspots while offering free additional spraying for special events. The program includes removal of wasp nests and spider webs during each service visit to enhance outdoor living spaces.
Commercial Pest Control
Commercial programs meet FDA and health department requirements for food establishments. Services include monthly treatments, fly control, rodent exclusion, and detailed documentation for inspections. We implement integrated pest management systems with online access to service reports while addressing specific challenges in restaurants, warehouses, and multi-unit complexes.
Rodent Program
Our rodent control includes exclusion inspections, bait station installation, and habitat modification. Technicians identify entry points as small as a quarter-inch while implementing glue boards and traps. The program features exterior bait stations with rodenticide and maintenance plans to address Norway rats, roof rats, and house mice infestations in residential and commercial properties.

So far I am very pleased with this company. I sent a request for a quote after reading reviews. Within a few hours I had a quote and contract agreement in my inbox. I completely forgot all about this and was contacted via phone which I appreciated.

My technician is Clint and he has been great. He was not bothered by my dogs and explained that they are
