Pest Trouble in New Orleans? Start Right Here
Precision Pest Control inspects homes across New Orleans, from raised shotgun houses in Bywater and the Marigny to slab foundations further out toward Gentilly and New Orleans East. Because so much of the city sits below sea level and near the Mississippi River or Lake Pontchartrain, a proper inspection here starts at the foundation and the water table, not the roofline. We work on that order every time, on every property.
We look for termites first, especially Formosan termites, which are aggressive here and often found before any visible damage shows on interior walls. Cockroaches and ants come next, since New Orleans' humidity and older plumbing give both plenty of moisture to work with. We check for wasps under eaves and porch ceilings, mosquitoes around any standing water on the property, and rodents along foundation piers and utility lines on raised homes. Spiders usually turn up last, tucked into crawl spaces and storage areas, once the more urgent problems have been ruled out or addressed.

An inspection here starts underneath the house, not at the front door. Many homes in neighborhoods like Bywater, the Marigny, and parts of Uptown sit raised on piers, which means the first thing we check is the crawl space and the soil moisture around the foundation piers themselves, since that tells us more about termite pressure than anything visible from the yard. New Orleans' high water table and clay soil hold moisture close to the surface almost year round, and that moisture is what draws Formosan termites toward a structure long before a homeowner sees a single mud tube on the siding.
From there we move up the exterior, checking weep holes, utility penetrations, and any spot where brick veneer meets wood framing, because that transition is where termites and ants most often find a way in. Inside, we check attic ventilation and any recent water intrusion around window units or older HVAC lines, since New Orleans humidity means a small roof leak turns into a pest problem fast. A generic checklist built for a slab home in a dry climate misses almost all of this. The order matters as much as the list, because each finding changes what we look for next.
