Winter Pest Watch: Common Pests to Look Out for This Season
Florida’s mild winters may not bring snow, but they do bring changes in pest behavior. As temperatures drop, certain pests become more active indoors, seeking warmth and shelter. Homeowners in Central and North Florida should be on the lookout for these common winter pests.
Pests That Invade Homes in Winter
- Rodents – Mice and rats move indoors to escape the cooler weather, nesting in attics and basements.
- Cockroaches – These pests thrive in warm, humid conditions and seek food sources inside homes.
- Spiders – While most spiders are harmless, some (like the brown recluse) can pose health risks.
- Silverfish – These pests are attracted to paper, fabric, and humid areas, making bathrooms and basements ideal hiding spots.
How to Keep Winter Pests Out
- Seal Entry Points – Check for gaps around doors, windows, and pipes where pests can enter.
- Keep Your Home Clean – Reducing clutter and food crumbs makes your home less attractive to pests.
- Control Moisture – Use dehumidifiers and fix leaks to prevent pests from thriving indoors.
- Schedule Professional Pest Control – Routine inspections and treatments keep seasonal pests under control.
