Jones County’s Original Pest Control Company - Serving Laurel Since 1988
Holifield Pest Management in Laurel
Laurel is where Holifield Pest Management got its start. In 1988, we opened our doors at 107 N 14th Ave with a simple mission: protect Jones County homes and businesses from the pests that thrive in Mississippi’s warm, humid climate. More than 35 years later, that original office is still our home base, and Laurel is still the community we know best.
Jones County’s subtropical climate creates ideal conditions for year-round pest activity. Formosan and subterranean termites are a serious and ongoing threat to the area’s older homes and newer developments alike. Aedes mosquitoes are active from March through September. Fire ants are a constant frustration in yards and landscaping. And as cooler weather arrives, rodents like rice rats and the cotton mouse begin looking for ways inside. Laurel homeowners don’t have to deal with any of it alone — we’ve been right here in the community for over three decades.
As a QualityPro-certified, family-owned company, we treat every Laurel home like it’s our own. Our 24-hour guarantee means if pests return between treatments, we come back at no extra charge. No runaround, no excuses.

Pest Control Services in Laurel / Ellisville
Our Laurel office offers the full range of residential and commercial pest control services. From one-time emergency treatments to comprehensive year-round protection plans, we have an option for every situation and budget:
Termite Control: We use the Sentricon® Termite Colony Elimination System — the industry’s gold standard — to eliminate termite colonies at the source and provide continuous protection. Every termite service begins with a thorough inspection of your foundation, crawl space, and wood structures. We also offer termite inspections (WDO) for real estate transactions throughout Jones County.
General Pest Control: Our quarterly treatment program covers the full range of common household pests in the Laurel area: ants, roaches, spiders, silverfish, earwigs, centipedes, and more. Billed monthly for easy budgeting, treatments target both the interior and exterior of your home.
Mosquito Control: Our seasonal mosquito treatments target breeding sites and resting areas around your yard, dramatically reducing mosquito populations from March through the fall. Reclaim your backyard.
Rodent Control: We eliminate active rodent infestations and implement exclusion strategies — sealing the entry points mice and rats use to get inside — so the problem doesn’t come back.
Bed Bug Eradication: Bed bugs can infest any home regardless of cleanliness. Our multi-stage eradication process eliminates bed bugs at every life stage, including eggs, for complete clearance.
Bee & Wasp Control: We safely remove stinging insect nests from eaves, walls, decks, and yards, and treat to discourage new colonies from establishing.
Flea & Tick Control: With Lone star ticks prevalent throughout Jones County, comprehensive flea and tick treatments for both indoor and outdoor areas are an important layer of protection for families with pets.
Commercial Pest Control: We create customized pest management programs for Laurel-area restaurants, offices, healthcare facilities, retail stores, and warehouses. Flexible scheduling and thorough documentation for compliance are available.
Emergency & Same-Day Service: Urgent pest situations can’t always wait. Call (601) 228-5344 and we’ll work to get a technician to your property the same day.
Pests Common to the Laurel, MS Area
After 35+ years in Jones County, our team knows exactly which pests cause the most problems for Laurel homeowners and when to expect them:
- Formosan & Subterranean Termites: Termites are the number one structural threat to Mississippi homes, and Laurel is squarely in high-risk territory. Formosan termites in particular are among the most destructive termite species in the world — a mature colony can consume a pound of wood per day. Most homeowners don’t know they have termites until significant damage has already occurred. Early inspection and ongoing protection with the Sentricon® system is the most effective defense.
- Mosquitoes (Aedes spp.): Laurel’s mosquito season typically runs from March through September. Aedes mosquitoes are aggressive daytime biters and are known vectors for diseases including West Nile virus and Zika. Our seasonal mosquito treatments significantly reduce populations around your yard and outdoor spaces.
- Fire Ants: Red imported fire ants are one of the most persistent and painful pest problems in Jones County. Their mounds appear quickly after rain and their stings can be dangerous, particularly for children and pets. Over-the-counter treatments rarely eliminate the colony — professional treatment targets the queen.
- Rodents: As temperatures drop, rice rats, cotton mice, and Norway rats seek shelter inside homes and businesses. They chew wiring, damage insulation, contaminate food, and breed rapidly. We eliminate active infestations and seal entry points to keep them out long-term.
- German & American Cockroaches: Both species are common throughout Laurel. German cockroaches thrive indoors in kitchens and bathrooms, while American cockroaches often enter from crawl spaces and drains. Both spread bacteria and allergens and require targeted professional treatment to fully eliminate.
- Lone Star Ticks: Lone star ticks are prevalent throughout Jones County and are active much of the year in Mississippi’s climate. They can transmit several diseases and are a real concern for families with children or pets that spend time outdoors.
- Pennsylvania Wood Cockroaches & Carpenter Bees: Both are common in the Laurel area and can cause damage to wooden structures. Wood cockroaches are often mistaken for German roaches, while carpenter bees bore into decks, eaves, and siding.
Laurel’s Hometown Pest Control Company
There’s something meaningful about calling a company that has been in your community for over 35 years. Our Laurel team isn’t a franchise branch managed from a corporate office somewhere else — we’re your neighbors. We’ve been treating homes in this community through decades of growth and change, and we take that history seriously.
That local experience translates directly into better results. We know exactly when termite swarm season peaks in Jones County. We know which Laurel neighborhoods have the worst fire ant pressure. We know how the area’s humidity and pine forest surroundings affect pest populations throughout the seasons. No national chain can replicate that depth of local knowledge.
Our commitment is backed by credentials that put us in a small category of pest control companies in Mississippi:
- QualityPro Accreditation: One of the pest control industry’s highest marks of professionalism. Requires meeting 18 standards that go beyond state and federal requirements. Very few companies in Mississippi hold this distinction.
- Sentricon® Certified Installer: The gold standard in termite colony elimination. Not available through every pest control company.
- NPMA & MPCA Membership: Active members of the National Pest Management Association and Mississippi Pest Control Association, keeping our team current with the latest techniques and research.
- Fully Licensed & Insured: Mississippi license #130401. Every technician is trained, licensed, and covered.
- 24-Hour Guarantee: If pests return between scheduled treatments, we come back within 24 hours at no additional charge. No fine print, no exceptions.
Service Plans for Every Situation
- Quarterly Treatment Plan (billed monthly): Our most popular plan. Regular scheduled visits keep seasonal pests under control year-round. Predictable monthly billing and full coverage under our 24-hour guarantee.
- One-Time Treatments: For specific, isolated pest problems without a long-term commitment. Great for pre-sale inspections, single infestations, or seasonal treatments.
- Year-Round Protection Programs: Comprehensive coverage for homeowners or businesses that want complete, all-season peace of mind across every pest type.
- Emergency / Same-Day Service: Call (601) 228-5344 for urgent pest situations. We’ll work to have a technician at your Laurel property the same day.
All services start with a free estimate. Call (601) 426-6986 or contact us online.
