Insects are cold-blooded, meaning they cannot produce their own body heat. This makes the high temperatures and humidity in Florida - especially during the summer - the ideal environment for pests to grow. The heat and moisture can cause bugs to develop faster, which is why we tend to see them a lot more during our warmer and rainier months.
As the weather turns, especially in droughts or heavy rains, pests will leave their homes to seek better shelter and food. When this happens, it is likely they can find the perfect environment in your home, as it is warm, safe, and full of nutrients for them.
