Pests in Houma
What we deal with most around Houma, LA
With rainfall like Houma gets, standing water is never far away. Mosquitoes breed in ditches, flowerpots, boat covers and clogged gutters, while termites and carpenter ants take advantage of wood that stays damp. Cockroaches are a constant, especially in kitchens and utility closets, and ants march inside whenever the ground gets soaked.
Houma has only about 9 nights a year at or below freezing, so there is very little pause in insect life. Rodents come indoors when it cools down, spiders build near lights and doorways, and fleas follow pets from spring through late fall. In a place this mild, the best approach is prevention that continues through the year, not a big response after the fact.
Weather and pests
How Houma's weather affects pest activity
Houma's July highs average about 91 degrees, and August is the warmest month, with roughly 76 days a year at 90 degrees or above. January is the coldest month, with lows near 44 degrees. The area gets about 65 inches of precipitation a year and no snow, and July is the wettest month at roughly 9.1 inches. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station and are a guide, not a forecast.
Nine inches of rain in one month is a big number, and it means yards and foundations stay wet at exactly the time insects are most active. Puddles left in low corners of a lot become mosquito nurseries quickly, and soil that never gets a chance to dry out is an invitation to termites. Cooler winter nights barely slow any of this.
Our seasonal advice for Houma is simple. Get gutters, downspouts and grading in order in spring. Empty and turn over anything that holds water during the wet summer months. Keep plants and mulch away from the house in the fall, and check crawl spaces and attic corners in winter for early signs of rodents.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Houma
Ant treatment in Houma
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Houma, from sugar ants in kitchens to carpenter ants in damp or damaged wood. Hot summers keep colonies growing all season. We find the trails and the nest, treat where the colony lives and follow up so they do not simply return.
Rodent control in Houma
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Houma buildings offer plenty of all three. They can be a year-round issue. Our exclusion-based approach combines inspection, sealing entry points, trapping and monitoring, so you fix the reason rodents got in, not only the rodents you can see.
Termite control in Houma
Termites are a quiet threat because damage often goes unnoticed for years. Regular moisture around foundations makes regular checks especially worthwhile. We inspect for mud tubes, damaged wood and moisture problems, then treat with a plan matched to how your Houma home is built.
Cockroach control in Houma
Cockroaches are hard to get rid of with store-bought sprays. We locate the hiding places, treat cracks, crevices and voids, and use monitoring so we know the treatment worked. It is a common request in Houma apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Houma
Most spiders are harmless, but nobody wants webs around the door or a spider in the basement. We remove webs and egg sacs, treat the perimeter and reduce the insects that spiders feed on, which keeps them from coming back.
Mosquito control in Houma
Houma's wet weather makes mosquitoes a real nuisance. We treat resting areas in your yard, help you find and remove breeding sites and schedule visits through the warm season so you can use your yard again.
