The weather is not just about temperature although that does play a big part. Depending if the temperature is cold or hot you may notice different kinds of pests. That can be due to the things they want to eat or the weather they are apt to survive in. The other types of weather that many people are dealing with can also change what happens to pests. A Five Star Termite & Pest Control outlines the different types of weather conditions and what it means to the pests around you.
Does Cold Weather Keep Bugs Away?
The weather outside in the winter is fairly cold. That means that your home is nice and warm. That is a perfect atmosphere for pests to thrive in. Pests that are not accustomed to cold weather find a place indoors to nest and find food. When the weather is cold out there are many pests that are not able to live and they will go and hibernate. That does not mean that all pests disappear. There are many pests that live in the winter and continue to infest homes. That is why it is important to continue your pest control services even in the winter.
Does Flooding Bring Bugs?

Many pests will not do well under these circumstances but there is a particular pest that will use the flood to its advantage. The ant will use the water as a way to get from one place to the next. Ants are able to stay on the surface of the water so a flood is transportation. You may not have an issue with ants at all but you might once there is a flood.
