Flea Control for Businesses in Jacksonville, FL

Fleas are small, fast-moving pests that can create major discomfort for homes and businesses alike. These tiny parasites feed on the blood of mammals and birds, causing itchy bites, skin irritation, and potential health issues. In Florida’s warm, humid climate, flea populations can explode quickly, making infestations challenging to control. At B&B Exterminating in Jacksonville, FL, we provide professional flea control services for residential and commercial properties. Call us today at (904) 389-3323 for a thorough inspection and effective treatment plan.

How Fleas Enter Your Property

Fleas are highly mobile and can enter properties in several ways:

Pets

Cats, dogs, and other animals can bring fleas into your home.

Wildlife

Raccoons, squirrels, birds, and feral cats can carry fleas into yards and buildings.

Visitors and Deliveries

Fleas can hitch a ride on clothing, luggage, or packages.

Neighboring Infestations

Fleas can migrate from nearby properties or communal areas.

Once inside, fleas reproduce rapidly, laying hundreds of eggs that develop into new fleas within weeks.

Signs of a Flea Infestation

Detecting fleas early can prevent a severe infestation. Key indicators include:

  • Pets scratching excessively or showing signs of irritation
  • Visible adult fleas on animals or in carpets, bedding, or upholstery
  • Flea dirt (small black specks that are flea feces) on pet fur or around living areas
  • Bites on humans, often small red bumps concentrated on ankles and legs
  • Rapid flea reproduction leading to a growing population indoors

Even a few fleas can multiply into a major problem if not addressed promptly.

Health Risks from Fleas

Fleas are more than just an annoyance—they pose health risks for both humans and animals:

  • Itchy bites that can lead to scratching, infection, and skin irritation
  • Allergic reactions in sensitive individuals or pets
  • Disease transmission, including typhus, plague, and tapeworms in pets
  • Secondary infections from scratching flea bites
  • Discomfort and stress for residents and employees in homes or commercial spaces

Professional treatment is essential to protect both health and comfort.

Professional Flea Control Services

DIY flea treatments, such as sprays or powders, often fail to eliminate the entire life cycle. Flea eggs, larvae, and pupae hide in carpets, furniture, and pet bedding, making complete eradication difficult without expert intervention. B&B Exterminating provides comprehensive flea control services, including:

  • Detailed inspections to locate flea hotspots indoors and outdoors
  • Targeted treatments for pets, carpets, upholstery, and flooring
  • Outdoor yard treatments to eliminate fleas in landscaping and shaded areas
  • Integrated flea management to address eggs, larvae, and adult fleas
  • Follow-up services to prevent re-infestation and maintain a flea-free environment

Our approach ensures that both the visible fleas and hidden eggs are effectively eliminated.

Flea Control for Homes and Apartments

Residential properties are particularly vulnerable to flea infestations. Fleas often hide in carpets, pet bedding, and upholstery, making everyday life uncomfortable for both pets and family members. Apartments and multi-family housing are at increased risk, as fleas can migrate between units. Our residential flea control services target all areas where fleas may live, offering relief for pets and humans alike.

Flea Control for Commercial Properties

Fleas also affect commercial properties, including veterinary clinics, pet boarding facilities, daycare centers, and hotels. An infestation in a commercial setting can disrupt operations, create health risks, and damage your reputation. B&B Exterminating offers customized flea control solutions for businesses, ensuring safe, effective treatments that protect staff, customers, and animals while maintaining operations.

Tips to Prevent Flea Infestations

Preventing fleas requires ongoing vigilance and good hygiene practices:

  • Regularly treat pets with veterinarian-recommended flea preventatives.
  • Vacuum carpets and upholstery frequently to remove eggs and larvae.
  • Wash pet bedding and linens in hot water.
  • Maintain outdoor areas by trimming grass, removing debris, and treating shaded areas
  • Seal entry points to prevent wildlife from entering the property.

Combining preventive measures with professional flea treatments is the most effective way to keep your home or business flea-free.
