New Orleans, La.-based Lajaunie’s Pest Control has recently made a significant move in the pest control industry by acquiring Skeeter Force, a pest control service provider in Slidell, La.
More than 20 years ago, Jared Lajaunie, the co-founder of Lajaunie’s Pest Control, and Ashly Quirk, the founder of Skeeter Force, began their careers in the pest control industry on the same day at a large national pest control company. Now, their paths have crossed again as Lajaunie’s Pest Control takes over Skeeter Force, uniting them under a common goal: to be the best in the industry.
Expressing his enthusiasm about the acquisition, Jared Lajaunie stated, “We are beyond excited to bring Skeeter Force into the Lajaunie family. This is not just a business move; it’s a reunion of two professionals who share a deep passion for excellence in pest control. Together, we are poised to offer unparalleled service to our customers.” Quirk also shared her excitement, saying, “Joining forces with Lajaunie’s Pest Control feels like coming home. Our shared history and commitment to quality service make this a perfect match. We are eager to embark on this journey together, offering the best pest control solutions to our customers.”
The acquisition signifies a significant step forward for both companies, enhancing their ability to serve customers with a broader range of pest control solutions and a team of experts. Both Lajaunie’s Pest Control and Skeeter Force are committed to maintaining the high standards of service and customer satisfaction that have defined both companies throughout their histories.
Lajaunie’s Pest Control, based in Thibodaux, La., was founded by Jared and Skye Lajaunie in 2008. The company has received numerous accolades, including the Reader’s Choice Awards for Best Pest Control Company in its market three times.
This acquisition adds to the series of recent mergers and acquisitions in the pest control industry, demonstrating the dynamic nature of the market and the strategic moves being made by companies to strengthen their positions and offerings.
