Pest control in Jacksonville
The City of Jacksonville's Mosquito Control Division, part of the Neighborhoods Department, covers all of Duval County and has run a program there since 1957. Inspection or spraying, for one property or a whole neighborhood, is requested at 904-630-CITY (2489) or myjax.custhelp.com. Twenty species here feed on people. The services page counts sixteen permanent light traps checked daily and seven battery-powered ones checked weekly, and the FAQ says trucks spray pyrethroid-based formulations from ULV units while aircraft apply Dibrom.
Florida's week 41 arbovirus tally, current to October 17, 2026, lists Duval with a mosquito-borne illness alert. The state report lists 1 locally acquired human West Nile case and 1 asymptomatic blood donor in Duval, both in August; its table also lists 5 West Nile sentinel chickens. A September 15 DOH-Duval alert described a second locally acquired case, so the state and county reports do not establish a reconciled county total.
The division says it coordinates with the Duval County Health Department on virus response, and that department's environmental health office, 904-253-1280, lists rabies prevention and mosquito-borne illness prevention among its programs. County mosquito work is a public program, so Florida law exempts it from the pest control license. A company you hire isn't exempt. Every employee doing pest work for it needs an FDACS ID card, photo and signature included, and has 30 days from hiring to apply for one. The median Jacksonville home was built in 1987.
What pest control costs near Jacksonville
Because no one has sent us a quote from Jacksonville, there's no price for the city itself. The Florida page lists the estimates with what pest control workers are paid ($22.15 an hour in the BLS wage data, which is pay, not price) and the state license fees. How we estimate costs.
Licensing and rules for pest control in Jacksonville
Florida cities don't license pest control companies. FDACS licenses the business at each location, its certified operator and its employees, and state law reserves pest control and pesticide rules to the state, though a city or county may require a local business tax receipt, which needs the FDACS license first. Ask for the company's FDACS license number before anyone treats the house.
