Integrated Pest Management

Our Pest Management Professionals start with a free inspection of the property and customizes a program to fit your needs.


B&B Exterminating’s pest control treatment includes removing spider webs around the perimeter of the house or office. Special attention must be paid to windows and doors, but the entire perimeter must be checked. Our professionals will have their web removal brush treated with insecticide so that any spider contacted will be eliminated.


Once the webs have been removed a residual pesticide formulation will be applied to all the possible pest entry points. These would include windows, doors, vents that extend through the wall, pipes, or electric lines that travel through exterior walls, and any other possible access points for pests.


Next, a B & B professional will treat mulch beds with a granular insecticide formulation that will slowly release insecticide into the area that breeds most of the occasional invaders that homeowners deal with.


While the treatments described above are being performed, our professionals are looking for other pest problems such as rodents, stinging insects living in or around the structure, wood destroying insects, such as carpenter bees, and wood borers, creating holes in wood or termites building mud tunnels on the foundation.

Once the exterior is treated, we would move to the inside of your home or office. In discreet locations around the interior, our professionals will place pest monitors. Some of these monitors have pheromone lures in them and some are just sticky surfaces with an attractive scent. These monitors will allow our professionals to be pro-active and treat infestations before they get out of control.


The interior of your home or office will be inspected, areas conducive to pest infestations will be identified and if possible, eliminated. Our interior treatment will target pests such as roaches, ants, silverfish, spiders, earwigs, and more. B&B tries to minimize indoor applications so no more insecticide than is necessary will be applied inside your home.


Our service order will note areas of concern so that we can follow up during future visits. Usually, a pest control program with a very thorough initial treatment and subsequent quarterly or annual visits works well for residential customers. However, in some situations monthly service may be required to gain control.


Call us TODAY or complete information below for a FREE quote or to schedule your FREE pest evaluation. B&B’s pest control services are guaranteed with no charge follow-ups between scheduled services if needed. Jacksonville’s locally owned and operated pest control company, B&B Exterminating also specializes in Bed Bug, Carpenter Ant, Flea, Mosquito and Rodent services.

Carpenter Ants

Florida carpenter ants can be found in large numbers and are one of the most common insects to cause structural damage. They are most often seen during their swarm season in the spring and are often mistaken for winged termites. These ants do not eat wood like termites but can severely damage it by digging smooth tunnels inside the wood causing structural weakening. Over time, an infestation can cause serious structural damage to a property. This kind of damage can be very expensive to fix.


These bi-colored ants are among the largest ants found in Florida. Workers vary in size, ranging from 1/4 to 3/8 inch in length. Winged females are the largest reaching up to 3/4 inch in length. The thorax and head are ash brown to a rusty-orange color and the abdomen is black. Their body hairs are long and brown to golden brown in color and shorter than those on the body.


Carpenter ants typically nest in partially decayed wood and moist areas. The need for a constant water source to survive makes the kitchen, bathroom, attic, ceiling and near sliding glass doors and along window ledges common areas to find Carpenter ants due to plumbing or water leaks.

Earwigs

Flat bodied insects that are reddish brown in color with pincers on their abdomen. These insets may or may not have wings and are typically around one quarter of an inch to one half of an inch in length. Earwigs are nocturnal and like to hide in tight crevices inside your home during the day. They prefer moist areas so they may enter your home and be found in moist areas such as the kitchen, bathrooms, and attics. Don’t be surprised if you also see them on your walls, ceilings, or window frames. Earwigs feed on plants and other insects inside your house.

To help prevent earwigs, B&B Exterminating recommends sealing any gaps in your windows and doors, reduce as much moisture and damp areas as possible from the interior and around the exterior of your home. Move any wood pilings or leaves away from the exterior of your home. Make sure your rain gutters and downspouts are working properly to provide the proper drainage. When these are not enough, call our Pest Management Professionals to help eliminate these unwanted pests.

Fire Ants

The males are for breeding purposes only. Sterile drone workers perform the day-to-day work around the hive. They also tend to the eggs and pupae. In the event of an emergency like a heavy rainstorm, the drones carry the pupae and eggs to the surface, so they aren’t trapped beneath the ground.

Florida Roaches

While it is often jokingly stated that if anything could survive a nuclear war, it would be a cockroach, the idea is clear - they are real survivors. Once there is a cockroach infestation, it can be very hard to get rid of them. 

The four main species are the American, German, Asian, and Oriental cockroaches. These vary in size from about 1/2" (German), up to 2" (American). In America, the species that is most common in homes would most likely be the German variety.

Cockroaches increase in population at a very rapid rate. The German cockroach female lives about 200 days. Each egg case that she lays includes thirty to fifty eggs. 


Once cockroaches infest a home, they are rarely seen. Cockroaches are nocturnal and can live up to a month with little or no food. They can also survive by eating book bindings, furniture, glue, soap, dead insects, shoe linings, and more. The presence of cockroaches can also lead to health problems, including asthma in children. If you spot a cockroach at home or work, there are likely more of them concealed nearby. Contact B&B Exterminating to avoid letting an infestation get out of hand.

Silverfish

Silverfish

Silverfish are wingless, silvery light grey color insects found in Jacksonville, St. Augustine and elsewhere throughout Florida. They are about 3/4-inch in size. These insects are oval shaped with six legs. They move rapidly, in a wiggling motion, much like fish. They prefer dark damp, high humidity areas like basements, crawl spaces, attics, bathrooms, and kitchen cabinets, but can also be found in old books and classrooms. 


Silverfish can survive up to one year with no food if in a high humid area. In addition to being nocturnal, they will avoid light, and make it a point to stay hidden from the view of humans.



Despite your best efforts, Silverfish find a way into our homes and offices. B&B knows how to eliminate these pests for you. For more information on our Pest Management Programs, Contact us today at 904-389-3323.
