TODAY’S PROGRAM

Today we were pleased to have as our speakers, Joe Azzarello, Marcus Azzarello and Ken Plaisance with Franklynn Pest Control. Franklynn Pest Control Company was incorporated in 1969 by Joseph Azzarello, Jr. after receiving a B.S. degree in Entomology from Louisiana State University. In 1975, Mr. Azzarello earned a master’s degree in Public health from Tulane and became the only Board Certified entomologist in the pest control industry in Louisiana.

The company provides pest control, termite control and fumigation services to residential, commercial and industrial customers. Franklynn also provides insect and disease control for lawns, trees and shrubs. They also provide consultation services as it applies to urban and industrial entomology.

The subject of their PowerPoint presentation was “BEDBUGS”.  With all the recent talk of bed bug infestation in hotels, there has been an increasing amount of interest in how to effectively kill bed bugs. The bad news is that once you have spotted a bed bug infestation, controlling the spread is almost impossible without the help of a professional.

If you think you might have a problem, please contact Joe Azzarello, Franklynn Pest Control at Azzarello@franklynnpestcontrol.com. We wish to thank everyone at Franklynn Pest Control for taking the time out of their schedule to speak to us.
