Louisiana wouldn’t be the same without its bugs — for better or worse. In this episode of LaJaunie’s Pest Cast, we explore how termites, mosquitoes, fire ants, and cockroaches have influenced Louisiana’s history, homes, health, and culture. From yellow fever epidemics to termite-ridden buildings in New Orleans, pests have left their mark on everything from architecture to backyard crawfish boils.

Join us as we dive into the hidden history of the pests that built Louisiana — and the lessons they’ve taught us about resilience, innovation, and survival.
