If you are a resident in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, you know that insect control is a must for every single home. This climate and region creates the perfect habitat for fire ants, spiders, cockroaches, ticks, silverfish, mosquitoes, and many other pests to thrive. However, that does not mean that you should have to share your home with these unwelcome guests!

Common insect problems in Baton Rouge, Louisiana:

Termites
A termite infestation can cause significant damage to your home or business. Dugas Pest Control is an authorized applicator for the leading termite control solution: Sentricon. Each of these termite treatment systems has their own advantages, but no matter which one you choose rest assured that they will eliminate current termite colonies and prevent future infestations from occurring. Ask us if you have questions about which termite control system is right for you.

Mosquitoes
Like many pests, mosquitoes can potentially carry dangerous viruses (such as West Nile), and are a very common insect to find in Baton Rouge. Step one in getting a handle on a mosquito problem is to eliminate standing water and any other breeding areas for mosquitoes around your home. Step two is to consider a mosquito control treatment system to further protect your home against this annoying pest.

Fleas, Ticks & Fire Ants
Even if you don’t have pets, fleas and ticks can still be a problem. And for those who do have pets, especially those who go both inside and outside, controlling fleas and ticks is a must! Ants can be another nagging problem here in south Louisiana both indoors and outdoors as we have more than our share of ant species in this area.

How to get control of insects

Your pest control provider should help you understand how to prevent insect problems from occurring by helping you diagnose the problem and offering suitable treatment solutions. This also means helping each customer learn to identify potential insect problems, such as nesting sites, entry ways, or optimal breeding grounds that can be eliminated.

Once the initial insect problem is under control, the goal is to set up a perimeter from the outside that will protect your home from unwanted intruding insects. Most of the insect control treatments last several months at a time, and a Dugas Pest Control trained professional will return on a regular basis to maintain your protection.
