Start a pest map of the New Orleans–Metairie metro and Plaquemines Parish is one of its pieces: 781 square miles where the metro's climate lands on this county's own mix of subdivisions, older streets and open ground.
Plaquemines Parish's pest calendar is the regional one with a local accent: long, hot, humid summers and mild winters that let pests breed nearly year-round, and the work concentrates on subterranean termites first, Formosan termites second, and mosquitoes never far behind.

At 33% of the metro's total county land area, Plaquemines Parish is one of the metro's larger counties by land — and pest work here follows the settlement pattern: the closer a property sits to the metro's wooded and watered edges, the more its pressure resembles the countryside's; the closer to the core, the more it resembles the city's. Providers read the address before they read the pest, because in Plaquemines Parish the same species behaves differently at the two ends of that spectrum.
