J&J Exterminating Celebrates 65 Years of Business, Prepares for Future at Annual Meeting

LAFAYETTE, La. — J&J Exterminating, a termite and pest control company serving communities in Louisiana and Texas, recently marked its 65th anniversary during its annual team meeting held this past spring. Hosted at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel Lafayette, the event brought together the organization's members, from executive leadership to field technicians, to celebrate the company's significant milestone.

The meeting focused on honoring outstanding employee performance and aligning on strategic growth, along with community impact initiatives for the future. The milestone event served as both a reflection of the past six decades of success and a launchpad for the company's next era of innovation and service, J&J Exterminating said. 

The gathering also provided a platform to review the company's past accomplishments while setting a clear trajectory for 2026 and beyond, according to the company. A highlight of the event was the recognition of staff members through various departmental awards. By distributing these awards, the company said it acknowledged the dedication and expertise of its workforce.

To energize the group and foster a highly collaborative atmosphere, J&J Exterminating said the meeting also featured a captivating performance by a professional mentalist. Throughout the event, leadership emphasized four core strategic themes to guide the company's next chapter of growth: "Keep Building," "Be Intentional,""Stay Disciplined,"and "Focus on the Small Things." By adopting these key themes, J&J Exterminating said it aims to maintain its high standards of service while pursuing deliberate, sustainable expansion and deepening its community impact in the markets it serves over the coming years.

"So as we head into the rest of today — and into the year ahead — I want to leave you with this. We've built something special over the last 65 years. And if we stay intentional, stay disciplined and focus on the small things — there's no reason we can't build something just as special over the next 65," said Robert John III, COO, J&J Exterminating. "That's how we continue to strive to be the best pest control company we can be."
