New Orleans is known for its amazing culture, beautiful beaches, and sunny weather. The downside is that this climate is a perfect breeding ground for a number of little critters.
Mosquitoes are a widespread pestilence that residents of Louisiana are very familiar with. They can be potent carriers of diseases such as the West Nile and Zika virus, which affect young children and elderly people the most. High fever, headaches, and muscle stiffness only begin to scratch the list of symptoms.
Residents in New Orleans often report sightings of cockroaches, be it in their kitchen, pantry, or bathroom. Cockroaches have a bacteria-ridden outer body, which can contaminate the food you eat and exasperate common health issues such as asthma by breathing in shed skin.
Rats and mice defecate in food reserves and cause damage to properties by gnawing at cables and wood structures.
Ants, centipedes, scorpions, silverfish, stinging pests, ticks, and spiders in New Orleans are among some of the most widespread species here. If you want to learn more about a pest you suspect is inhabiting your home, then our Pest Library is perfect for you. It contains information on bug biology, pest habits, and how you can help protect your home.
Orkin’s Pros are thoroughly educated through intensive levels of training before they can become master certified specialists. Due to our heavy investment in educational programs and expert training, our Pros have knowledge above and beyond the norm and can deal with any scenario at hand.
When you use our New Orleans pest control service, you can be rest assured of the methods we use to detect, assess, and treat pest infestations. Using only the best technology available, we assess all areas of your house for pests, develop a treatment plan, and provide a list of recommendations to help keep the bugs as far away from your property as possible.
Termites can take a holding in any place of your house, although they mostly prefer the moist and dark environments of attics, bathrooms, and basements. Using state-of-the-art technology such as moisture meters, we identify where termites are hiding in your house and apply targeted treatment solutions.
Orkin understands that every home is built differently, so we adapt our treatment techniques to your individual home construction type. Some walls are thinner than others or use more fragile material, which means that we employ specific types of New Orleans termite treatment as to not cause any further damage.
Through our years of experience, we’ve found that using a combination of liquid foam, OrkinFoam, and Sentricon® bait gives effective results. All our treatments require specific amounts for your unique situation, and we use monitors to ensure that.
Orkin termite inspectors go through intensive training in all areas of termite control in New Orleans, so you can be rest assured that no matter the severity, we can help remedy any infestation.
