Fleas in Florida

Do you have a dog or cat? If you do, you are no stranger to fleas in Northeast Florida. If not, and you are experiencing bites on your arms and legs indoors, you may have a flea infestation. Fleas are tiny insects that feed on the blood of people and animals. These little pests can also spread diseases to both humans and pets. According to the CDC, there are currently four times of fleas in the US that include Cat Fleas (Ctenocephalides felis), Dog Fleas (Ctenocephalides Canis), Ground Squirrel Fleas (Oropsylla Montana), and Oriental Rat Fleas (Xenopsylla Cheopis). Once you have fleas, they can spread quickly, as one female can lay up to 27 eggs per day. They also live in hard-to-see areas like lawns, beds, carpets & upholstery. If you suspect you have a flea infestation, B & B Exterminating’s flea control in Jacksonville, FL, is here to save the day!

Process for Flea Removal

Treat home & pet at the same time: Our flea treatment includes a growth regulator to suppress eggs from hatching and to exterminate the fleas. We use a special formula for flea treatments vs. over-the-counter solutions that could take longer to resolve the problem.

Vacuum: After a flea treatment, you will want to vacuum for several days. Like other creatures, fleas leave eggs, debris, and fecal matter that you will want to clean up. Dump or empty the vacuum in a sealed bag and dispose of the bag immediately outside to avoid re-infestation.

Treat your yard: Fleas also love to live in the grass, just waiting to feed on the next person or pet. Treating your yard will help keep them from getting back into your home or business.
