Frequently asked questions
When does flea season start in Biloxi?
It never fully stops — Biloxi's monthly averages support flea activity essentially all year, with the heaviest stretch Mar–Nov.
Is flea season in Biloxi different from the rest of Mississippi?
Somewhat. Unlike the Mississippi statewide picture, Biloxi's averages never drop low enough to shut fleas down. The statewide page averages several stations across Mississippi; this page uses the normals recorded at GULFPORT - BILOXI AP.
Do dogs in Biloxi need prevention outside flea season?
Yes — vets recommend year-round parasite prevention regardless of the local calendar. Indoor fleas ignore the weather entirely, and ticks in Mississippi are typically active year-round, a longer window than fleas get.
