    • How quickly can I expect service?

      Pelican Pest Control strives to always provide service as quickly as possible. If a client calls before noon, we can typically come out the same day. Otherwise, we will come by the next day at the latest. 

    • How soon after you come can we expect to see results?

      This varies based on the pest you are dealing with, as well as the severity of the problem. For the most part, results are rapid and long lasting. In order to truly determine this, ask our pest control specialist when they visit your property and see the issue firsthand. 

    • Why should I hire a professional pest control company instead of doing it myself?

      Not only is all Pelican Pest Control staff trained with the proper techniques and equipment, but we also know the habits, lifecycles, and food preferences of all pests in the Baton Rouge area. We are also licensed and insured, and utilize EPA approved products. In addition, a thorough inspection by a professional like our company can help to spot possible infestations before they become serious, and this can help to eliminate future damage to your home. 

    • Are your products safe for my family and pets?

      Yes! All the products that we use are EPA approved, kid-friendly, and pet-friendly. We know how important your family's health is, which is why we use these products. 

    • What's the difference between termite bait stations and termite sprays?

      Bait stations are used mostly for prevention of termites. Sprays are more effective in treating a current termite issue. Therefore, when we arrive at your home/business, we will determine which treatment method is best for your unique situation. In Lousiana, termites are a large problem, so we believe that every property should have termite bait traps to be proactive. 

    • What's the difference between a drywood termite and a subterranean termite?

      Drywood termites do not need any ground contact or moisture. They are also larger in size, and generally swarm after sunset or during the night from May to November. Subterranean termites must have ground contact and/or a moisture source. They are small and black in appearance, and swarm during the spring/summer months during the day and/or after a heavy rain.
