Pest pressure in Louisiana
Louisiana's climate is humid subtropical, with very high year-round humidity. Louisiana has effectively no pest off-season. Formosan termite pressure is among the highest in the United States. That climate profile is what drives the specific pest pressure LA homeowners deal with — and it's the reason pest control programs in Louisiana look different than they do in colder northern states.
The biggest pest issues in Louisiana
Formosan subterranean termites
Louisiana — and New Orleans in particular — has the heaviest documented Formosan termite pressure in the continental US. Annual swarms in May–June are massive.
American and smoky brown cockroaches
Sewer and tree-roach populations thrive in the year-round humidity, especially in older neighborhoods.
Asian tiger and salt marsh mosquitoes
Coastal salt marsh species and Aedes albopictus together create one of the country's most aggressive mosquito environments.
Local pest control by metro area
- New Orleans — Formosan termites and American cockroaches are the top two call categories citywide.
- Baton Rouge — Rodent and termite inspection findings are extremely common in older housing stock.
- Shreveport — Termite, ant and roach calls dominate spring through fall.
- Lafayette — Mosquito and termite pressure peak May through October.
Licensing & regulation in Louisiana: Louisiana commercial pest applicators must be licensed by the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry's structural pest control commission.
