Jacksonville Flea & Tick Control Services
Since 1963, May Exterminating has stood as a line of defense for pet owners and families in Jacksonville and the surrounding Coastal Plain against parasitic pests. We understand that in our region, fleas and ticks are not merely a seasonal nuisance; they are a year-round challenge driven by our humid climate and sandy soil. We recognize that for the thousands of military families stationed at Camp Lejeune and New River, these pests pose a unique administrative hurdle during relocation.
Our team approaches flea and tick control in Jacksonville with a focus on breaking the reproductive lifecycle of the insect, ensuring that we address the infestation in your carpets and yard, not just on your pets. We treat your home with the same level of safety and care we demand for our own animals.

Our Comprehensive Strategies for Parasitic Pests
We tailor our exterminating protocols to specific environments where fleas and ticks thrive, addressing both the interior living spaces and the exterior grounds.
- Military Move-Out Treatments: We provide the specific "flea spray" required by most lease agreements and military housing offices (such as Liberty Military Housing) upon vacating a property. Our service includes the necessary receipt and documentation to verify professional treatment, helping you secure your security deposit.
- Interior Flea Elimination: Our team treats carpets, rugs, and furniture with a combination of adulticides and Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs). This dual approach eliminates active adults while preventing eggs and larvae from developing into biting pests, effectively stopping the cycle.
- Exterior Tick Defense: We target the transition zones in your yard—where the manicured lawn meets the wood line or tall grass—where ticks wait for hosts. Our barrier treatments reduce the population of deer ticks and dog ticks, lowering the risk of them latching onto your family or pets.
- Yard Flea Management: We treat the shaded, sandy areas of your lawn where pets rest and fleas breed. By addressing the exterior source of the infestation, we prevent pets from re-introducing pests into the home after the interior has been cleared.
Addressing the Stress of Infestation and Relocation
Flea and tick control is a critical service for maintaining a sanitary and stress-free home. In Jacksonville, the stringent requirements of rental agreements mandate professional flea treatment as a condition of move-out, regardless of whether an active infestation exists. We alleviate this burden by offering our Move Out Spray Special at a competitive rate ($60 if paid prior to service, $70 at the time of service). We ensure that you have the paperwork you need to hand over your keys with confidence.
Ticks in Eastern North Carolina are vectors for serious illnesses like Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Lyme disease. We help combat health implications associated with these pests this by using products that penetrate the fibers to reach the developing larvae that vacuuming might miss. We educate our clients on the importance of treating the pet (through veterinary-approved methods) in conjunction with our environmental treatments to achieve total control.
A Legacy of Honest Service
May Exterminating is built on values of integrity and community support. We have served generations of locals and military families since 1963, and we understand the "churn" of our transient population. We do not take advantage of the urgent nature of a PCS move; instead, we offer fair, flat-rate pricing for the services you are required to purchase.
We prioritize the safety of your household by using application methods that are appropriate for homes with children and animals. We select only the safest products for your situation.
Our technicians undergo continuous training to stay current on pest resistance and application techniques. We treat your property with respect, ensuring we leave it secure after our service. We value the trust you place in us to handle these sensitive issues. We aim to be the resource you recommend to your fellow Marines, Sailors, and neighbors when they face similar challenges.
