Pest pressure in New Orleans
New Orleans is a mid-sized metro in Louisiana, with housing stock that includes shotgun houses and Creole cottages in older neighborhoods, raised pier-and-beam foundations throughout. Subtropical with intense humidity year-round and no real winter dormancy — and that's what drives the specific pest pressure New Orleans homeowners deal with. Formosan termite pressure is the worst in the country; flying roaches dominate summer evening calls.
