J&J Exterminating

The company was founded in 1960, in Crowley, LA, by Robert John Sr. and his brother Harry, an entomologist. Neither had experience in the pest control industry. The two brothers got their start by knocking on doors and asking for business.

Robert Jr., now president of J&J, says, “I grew up in the business, working at the company summers, evenings and weekends. In 1984, after graduating from the University of Southwestern Louisiana, I joined the business full-time, and have strived to carry on the professionalism that my father instilled in me.” “It was the perfect fit for me; I knew the business by osmosis and by working my way through numerous jobs, from clean up to technician. Keeping the business in the family and in our community was of utmost importance to me.” says Robert John Jr. “J&J Exterminating has become what it is today thanks to the communities that we serve”, Robert says, “we are always willing and ready to give back to the community.” J&J Exterminating is actively involved with the St. Jude’s Dream Home each year. J&J supports everything from recreation sports programs, church fund raisers, and school benefits to Christmas in April.
