With a mix of hot, humid environments and plentiful rain during half of the year, Florida is a breeding ground for many different types of insects. Here in Florida there is no shortage of insects that you may encounter all year round. Which are the most common bugs which call Florida home? Florida has at least 12,500 insect species and they all eat something. Whether or not humans call them “pests” depends on how they impact our lives.
Some of them eat the plants we consider important, like food crops or decorative greenery. Other species of them bite, sting, or try to feed on us in all seasons. Many insects are considered invasive species that arrived in Florida by accident. Others were intentionally introduced without the realization that they would become invaders affecting Florida residents and its' environment in a negative and destructive way.
Bugs do not wait for a formal invitation to come in. That is why chances are your Florida home has more than one species of common household insects roaming around. A lot of the natural habitats Florida insects crave can be found in your home, just as in nature. Some insects prefer to be hidden and tucked away in dark corners, avoiding human contact. Others may live behind furniture, inside drain pipes, behind cabinets, or under dressers. They can be found everywhere you live.
The truth is that insects are not difficult to see in Florida – they usually find you. Once you get past the unwanted mosquitoes, cockroaches and deer flies there is a dazzling abundance of insect life in this tropical state. This state showcases a rainbow of gloriously colored butterflies. Huge tropical moths can be seen almost year around. Vivid green mantids, bright red ladybugs and exotic-looking walking sticks and giant orange grasshoppers are easy to find. Almost any color is represented by the bug life of Florida.
Florida’s weather is beautiful, warm, and humid: the perfect environment for people to enjoy and – unfortunately – bugs. There are over 500 species of insects that are found in Florida and there are so many different types of bugs it is quite a task to catalog them all. Suffice it to say that if there is an insect which can bug you you can probably find it here in Florida.
Catching problems early may minimize the amount of insect treatment, allowing for better results and saving you a good deal of money. Ensure the beauty and health of your property by inspecting your property frequently and taking action as soon as you see a problem.
