Warm Winter Stirring Up Ticks and Fleas

All throughout the Florida and the United States, unusually warm winter weather is obvious. It is pleasant to have such beautiful weather; however it means a higher chance of pest infestation for your home and pets.

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.
