Section A / Register summary
Licensed termite and pest control operators in Louisiana
Louisiana contributes 463 licensed operators to this register of 15,989 across 8 states, taken from the LDAF Structural Place of Business Permits list (list revised 20 Apr 2026 (fetched 27 Aug 2026)). LDAF records termite (LP3) on the individual licensee, not on the place-of-business permit, so no termite share is shown for Louisiana. 457 operators have a full file page; 424 geocoded to the rooftop, 36 to a ZIP centroid and 3 could not be placed. 19 operators are headquartered outside Louisiana.

| Area | Operators |
|---|---|
| Smaller markets and rural counties | 23 |

Metro pages exist for core-based statistical areas that span Louisiana and hold at least three records. Everything else is grouped here: in-state operators in smaller markets and rural counties, and out-of-state headquarters licensed to work in Louisiana.

- Contract renewal, national: $150 to $500 a year
- Inspection form: Wood Destroying Insect Report (WDIR) on Commission form LPCA-143 or LPCA-143 A
- Louisiana puts the termite (LP3) endorsement on the individual licensee, not on the place-of-business permit, so ask which technician holds it.
Categories on the LA register
- No category recorded at business level.
LDAF place-of-business permits carry no category. The termite (LP3) endorsement is held by the individual licensee, so ask which named technician on the permit holds it.
Section C / Reading an LA licence record
What the LDAF record does and does not tell you
Every record on this page comes from the LDAF Structural Place of Business Permits list, list revised 20 Apr 2026 (fetched 27 Aug 2026). The regulator is the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry (LDAF), Structural Pest Control. The status shown is the one on that file; the 20 Apr 2026 list predates the 30 Jun 2026 renewal date on those permits and the LDAF has not republished since, so treat every Louisiana status as historical until you check it.
LDAF does not record a termite category on the 463 place-of-business permits, so this register cannot say which Louisiana offices do termite work. The LP3 termite endorsement is held by named technicians; ask the office which of them holds it and check that name on the LDAF search.
457 records met the data floor for a full operator file (licence number, status and snapshot, address, county, metro, nearest alternatives, plus a phone number where the regulator publishes one). 424 geocoded to the rooftop, 36 to a ZIP centroid, and 3 could not be placed and are listed as rows only. 19 operators (4%) are headquartered outside Louisiana.

Three rows whose names wrapped across PDF lines were repaired by hand-checked merge; 96 Delinquent or Expired permits are excluded.
Status is shown exactly as the regulator reported it on the snapshot date and is not a statement about today. Registers change with every renewal cycle; the regulator's own search is the only current source. Business records only: individual applicators, technicians and field representatives are never listed here.

This register extract is a consumer guide, not a referral service and not an endorsement of any operator. We are not a pest control company. A listed business pays nothing to appear here or for its position; a licensed operator may pay for an optional Enhanced listing, which adds its own details in a labelled section and changes no order, figure or register fact (how operator files work). Verify licence status with the regulator before signing a contract or paying a deposit. Listed businesses can request a correction or removal at [email protected].
