Why Winter Is Actually Pest Season in South Florida

Get relief from pests during the winter months, South Florida stays active year-round, and the cooler weather can actually make pest problems worse inside your home.

At Greg’s Aggressive Pest Solutions, we’ve noticed that some of our busiest months are December through February. When the air gets crisp and the temperatures drop even slightly, pests like ants, roaches, and rodents go searching for warmth — and end up inside kitchens, garages, and attics across Pompano Beach, Coral Springs, and Fort Lauderdale.

Why Pests Stay Active in Broward’s “Winter”

South Florida never truly cools off. The combination of mild temperatures, humidity, and constant vegetation gives pests everything they need to thrive.
But here’s the catch — instead of living comfortably outdoors, they move closer to homes for shelter and food.

Here’s what we typically see each winter:

• Ghost ants and sugar ants finding warmth near electrical outlets and sinks.
• Roaches nesting behind refrigerators and dishwashers where it’s cozy.
• Rodents sneaking into attics through small roof gaps to escape cooler nights.

Because of this shift, winter becomes an indoor pest season across Broward.

What Homeowners Can Expect This Season

We’re already seeing an uptick in rodent and ant calls this month, especially after the recent cold front. Homeowners often notice more activity in the evenings — when pests are most active.
Even if you don’t see them, they could already be nesting in walls or crawl spaces.

That’s why consistent monthly treatments matter most during the winter. Skipping service now can undo months of protection and allow pests to re-establish colonies inside.
