Why Miami-Dade Homes Are Flea Magnets
South Florida’s humid climate isn’t just perfect for beach days—it’s a breeding paradise for fleas. From Homestead’s rural landscapes to Coral Gables’ historic districts, these pests infiltrate homes through pets, rodents, and even secondhand furniture. Left unchecked, a handful of fleas can explode into a full-blown infestation within weeks, threatening your family’s comfort and health.
Spot the Invaders Early
Don’t wait for red flags to become emergencies. Watch for:
- Restless pets scratching excessively
- Pepper-like specks (flea dirt) on bedding
- Clusters of itchy bites on legs and ankles
