During the winter months most pests go into a form of hibernation and wait till spring to swarm about. Eggs and cocoons are the same; they stay dormant until the appropriate temperatures are met to initiate hatching. Those insects that do stay active develop an internal mechanism acts similar to antifreeze. Florida’s temperature is typically mild in winter which tends to make fleas and ticks a year round nuisance.

Rat Contaminating Food

The cold weather will bring in many unwanted pests, but worst rodents too! Rodents survive in temperatures of 60-90 degrees and in Florida we commonly see freezing temps. Rodents consist of rats, mice, and squirrels and what classifies them as a rodent are their persistently growing teeth. This constant growth requires them to gnaw to keep the length of their teeth appropriate for use. Rodent control is necessary when rodent evidence is present.
