# Lafayette Pest Control > Pest control for Lafayette and the Lafayette Parish communities of Scott and Broussard. Lafayette Parish is one of the places where Formosan subterranean termites are established, and the swarm season runs from late April into June, with the peak in May and June according to LSU AgCenter. A swarm points to a nearby infestation, and the AgCenter advises an inspection of the home and trees. Swarmers are drawn to lights, so outdoor lighting matters in spring. The AgCenter advises removing wood, cardboard and cellulose from around the home, keeping mulch 8 to 12 inches from the foundation, and fixing outdoor faucet drips and roof or pipe leaks. ## Key facts -

A swarm points to a nearby infestation, so the AgCenter advises inspecting the home and the trees. This guide walks through the calendar month by month and explains what to do when a swarm is seen. - [Are Formosan Termites in Lafayette Parish?](https://lafayettelapestcontrol.shop/guides/formosan-termites-lafayette-parish/): Yes, according to a 1999-2001 Louisiana survey published through the LSU repository, which lists Lafayette Parish among the parishes where Formosan subterranean termites are established. That is a statement about the parish, not about any single property. This guide explains what the survey says, how the species differs from others a homeowner may know and what questions to ask an inspector. - [What to Check Around a Lafayette Home After a Termite Swarm](https://lafayettelapestcontrol.shop/guides/checklist-after-a-termite-swarm/): After a swarm, LSU AgCenter advises inspecting both the home and the trees, because a swarm points to a nearby infestation. This checklist sets out what to look at around the house, the foundation and the yard, in the order a careful owner can do it, and it notes what the owner should record before the inspector arrives. - [Do Outdoor Lights Bring Termite Swarmers Into the House?](https://lafayettelapestcontrol.shop/guides/do-outdoor-lights-draw-termite-swarmers/): Outdoor lights do not cause a termite colony, but they concentrate swarmers where they can find an opening. LSU AgCenter advises turning off outdoor lights at night in May and June, and a 2024 regional radio report repeated that advice. This guide explains why the advice is made, what a light change can do and what it does not prove. - [How to Keep Termites Away From the Foundation of a Louisiana Home](https://lafayettelapestcontrol.shop/guides/keep-termites-off-the-foundation/): LSU AgCenter prevention advice for Lafayette Parish is short: remove wood, cardboard and cellulose from around the home, keep mulch 8 to 12 inches from the foundation, and fix outdoor faucet drips and roof or pipe leaks. This guide explains why each step matters, which ones a homeowner can do alone, which need a trade and how to tell whether the work has held. - [How Do I Check a Louisiana Pest Control License?](https://lafayettelapestcontrol.shop/guides/check-louisiana-pest-control-license/): In Louisiana, the Department of Agriculture and Forestry (LDAF) runs the structural pest control licensing through its Structural Pest Control Commission, which was created within the department. A business needs the appropriate license, and each employee who applies pesticides needs a separate applicator certification. This guide sets out what to ask a company for and where to check it with LDAF. - [Who Arranges Pest Work in Lafayette Homes: Owners or Renters?](https://lafayettelapestcontrol.shop/guides/who-arranges-pest-work-in-lafayette-homes/): Lafayette Parish is 65.5 percent owner-occupied and the city of Lafayette is 53.1 percent, according to the 2020-2024 American Community Survey figures that the Census Bureau publishes through QuickFacts. Louisiana as a whole is 67.4 percent. The difference shapes who makes the pest decision, which this guide sets out for an owner, a landlord and a tenant. - [What Does a Termite Inspection Cover in Lafayette Parish, and What Can It Miss?](https://lafayettelapestcontrol.shop/guides/what-a-termite-inspection-covers/): A termite inspection looks for evidence of activity in and around a house: mud tubes, soil contact, sounded wood, moisture and the swarm trail. In Lafayette Parish, where Formosan termites are established, it should also look for the pattern of that species. It cannot see inside every wall, floor or tree, so the report should state what was reached and what was not. ## Company - [About](https://lafayettelapestcontrol.shop/about/) - [Reviews](https://lafayettelapestcontrol.shop/reviews/) - [Contact](https://lafayettelapestcontrol.shop/contact/) ## Optional - [Full text of every page](https://lafayettelapestcontrol.shop/llms-full.txt)
