Protect Your Home and Yard from Pests

Provided by J&J Exterminating

Your Home is your personal sanctuary, your refuge from the world. You’ve worked hard to create an environment that your family can enjoy. You and your home shouldn’t have to be at the mercy of annoying insects and their painful or destructive bites. Fortunately, there are exterminators to tackle them.

TERMITES - Exterminators have some very effective weapons against termite infestation of your home and/or business. They have systems that are effective in preventing termite infestation as well as controlling existing colonies. Your technician will work with you to determine the best protection for you.

MOSQUITOES - Reclaim your yard with effective mosquito control. There are one-time treatments, a great option if you have an event in your yard, or a virtually undetectable misting system for ongoing protection. There are things you can do to make your yard less inviting to mosquitoes. Since mosquito larvae float on top of still water in order to hatch, by eliminating the standing water, you’ll discourage mosquitoes from thriving in your yard. You can also: clean out standing water from gutters, mow tall grass, trim overgrown bushes, change water in bird baths every few days, and store buckets and flower pots upside down to avoid having them collect water.

ANTS & FIRE ANTS - Ant bites can hurt long after the initial bite because of the venom they inject into your bloodstream. Pest control professionals know just how to kill ants using pesticides and ant traps.

WASP & HORNETS - Taking on a colony of flying soldiers can be dangerous, and deadly depending on your allergies. When airborne insects threaten your family’s safety and comfort, don’t put yourself in harms way. Let the professionals handle it.

SNAKES - Snakes can be hazardous to you, your family and your pets (not to mention are very creepy). Snakes can get into very tight spaces to hunt for mice and other small rodents. Unlike most creatures, snakes will stand and fight, no matter how big their opponent. Play it safe and call an exterminator to remove them.

Whatever pests prowl southwest Louisiana you can find an exterminator who can help keep them away from your home.
