A city far larger than our range.
Jacksonville merged with Duval County in 1968 and is now a consolidated city-county, the seat of Duval County. It is a very large city, with more than 700 square miles of land according to its encyclopedia page. We cover only the ZIP codes in the table below, so check your home's ZIP before you phone.
That size matters for a rodent call. A ZIP code fifteen miles away is a different trip from one two miles away, and the technician's arrival time reflects the distance. Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach and Jacksonville Beach are not governed by the City of Jacksonville, so they are treated on their own pages.

(904) 675-6764What the coverage data does and does not tell us.
The data ties these codes to Jacksonville but says nothing about neighborhoods, building ages or common problems. We make no claims about those. A visit therefore begins with your street, the type of building and the clue you noticed, not with assumptions about the code.
- A house with an attic and a garage follows the usual route: roofline, vents, seals, then inside.
- An apartment adds shared walls, a manager and a utility chase.
- A commercial space adds receiving doors, trash and storage.
- A vehicle or boat can be checked wherever it is parked.
See the commercial page for business sites and the vehicle page for cars and trailers.
Distance and timing.
Of the fifteen codes, 32224 is the closest at about 2.3 miles, and 32255 sits at the edge near fifteen. A technician can often reach the nearer codes sooner when the schedule has room. The farther ones are booked for a set time, and the dispatcher states it on the call.
Before you call.
Read your ZIP code off a bill or letter, since it is the first thing we check. Have a sentence ready on what you saw, heard or smelled and the room involved.
Dust control comes first.
Once rodent waste dries it flakes into fine grit, which is why careful cleaning is wet and unhurried. The advice below mirrors public health guidance, whether or not you ever hire us.
- Brushing, blowing or vacuuming sends fine particles toward your face.
- Where a room has been shut, prop the doors and windows open and wait half an hour outside.
- Slip on disposable gloves, rubber or vinyl, ahead of touching soiled material, and rinse your hands after.
- After the wait, lift the soaked mess in a single sweep with a paper towel.
- Pets stay clear of the tied bag until it is inside the outdoor bin.
- Hand washing ends the job, gloved or otherwise.
