We work on bugs, rodents, and termites for homes and businesses around Lafayette. That covers cockroaches, ants, spiders, wasp and hornet nests, mosquitoes, bed bugs, rats and mice, and termite treatment both above and below the house. We also handle moisture and crawl space work, because so much of what brings pests into a house starts with damp wood and standing water under it. Commercial accounts get the same inspection and treatment process as a house — just more square footage to cover. We give free estimates, we're on site the same day when the job calls for it, and our crews are licensed contractors. You can pay however's easiest for you. Most jobs start with a look underneath and around the house before anything gets sprayed or baited, because guessing at a pest problem usually costs more than checking first.
Termite work is most of what we do, more than any other job on the list. Subterranean termites don't live in the wood they're eating — they live in the ground and tunnel up into the house through mud tubes, which is the first thing we look for on a visit, usually along the foundation or inside the crawl space. Formosan termites swarm on warm evenings in late spring, and that's usually when people first notice they have a problem, though the colony's been working long before that. What people get wrong is treating the swarm and not the colony — spraying the bugs they see instead of dealing with the ground around the foundation. A house on piers and a house on a slab get checked differently, since the access and the moisture problems aren't the same. That's why the first visit is mostly about moisture and wood contact with soil, not just termites themselves.
We walk the property, inside and out, and check the places pests actually use — foundation lines, soffits, crawl space, slab edges, and anywhere wood meets ground or water sits too long.
What's in a kitchen isn't treated the same as what's in a crawl space. We confirm what we're dealing with before we decide how to treat it.
We lay out what needs treating, what needs monitoring, and what needs fixing on the house itself — like moisture sources that keep pests coming back.
Baiting, spraying, nest removal, termite treatment at the foundation — whatever the plan calls for, done where the pest actually lives, not just where it's seen.
Termite and moisture jobs especially get checked again. A treated house doesn't stay treated by itself.
Lafayette is the parish seat of Lafayette Parish, sitting along the Vermilion River, and it's Louisiana's fourth-most populous city — a 2020 census count of 121,374 in the city itself, 241,753 across the consolidated city-parish. The wider metro area reached 478,384 that same year, making it the third-largest metro in the state and, by the numbers, the biggest population and economic corridor between Houston and New Orleans. That's a parish with a lot of housing packed along a river, old streets and newer ones side by side, and a real mix of homes and commercial buildings needing the same kind of attention. A parish this size, this close to water, keeps pest and termite work steady — there's just more house, and more ground, to look after.
Humidity here doesn't take a season off, so damp wood and standing moisture under a house are a year-round concern, not a winter one. The water table runs high, which means most houses don't have basements — you get raised houses on piers right next to slab-on-grade houses on the same block, and each one holds moisture differently. That matters for termite and moisture work especially, since the crawl space under a pier house and the ground against a slab foundation call for different checks. Hurricane season runs June through November, and that governs when outside work like mosquito and wasp treatment gets scheduled, since standing water after a storm is when mosquito populations jump. None of that is unusual for this area — it's just the ground and the weather we work with.
Formosan termite swarms in Louisiana run from late spring into early summer, usually at dusk on warm, still evenings. Wings shed on window sills are often the first sign a property owner sees.
