Autumn in Florida is a beautiful time of year—cooler temperatures, falling leaves, and cozy evenings. However, with the changing season comes a rise in pest activity, as many critters seek warmth and shelter inside your home. As they look for food, warmth, and safe places to nest, pests can easily find their way inside if your home isn’t properly protected.
Here are the most common pests you might encounter this autumn:
1. Ants
Ants, particularly Argentine ants, are a common sight during the fall. As the weather cools, these ants search for food and water indoors. Once they find a reliable source, they can form large colonies, quickly becoming a nuisance in kitchens, bathrooms, and even bedrooms.
2. Cockroaches
Cockroaches are another fall invader. These resilient pests are drawn indoors by cooler temperatures, seeking warmth and food. Roaches are not only unsightly but also carry bacteria that can contaminate food and surfaces, potentially triggering allergies or asthma.
3. Spiders
As temperatures drop, spiders often seek shelter in your home. They are usually found in quiet, secluded areas such as basements, attics, or behind furniture. While most spiders in Florida are harmless, venomous species like the black widow or brown recluse may also make their way indoors, posing a potential risk.
4. Termites
Termites are active year-round, but the fall months provide an ideal time to spot early signs of infestation. These silent destroyers feast on wood, including the wooden framework of your home, which can cause significant structural damage if not addressed quickly.
