Pests are active year-round in Fort Lauderdale, but the focus shifts: termites in spring, mosquitoes and ants in the wet season, storm cleanup in hurricane season and rodents in cooler months. The seasons below are general patterns.
Last updated October 21, 2026.
Spring: termites and swarms
Spring is a common time for termite swarms. Schedule an inspection and check windowsills for wings. See termite swarm season.
Summer wet season: mosquitoes, ants and roaches
Warm rains boost mosquitoes, ants and roaches. Empty standing water weekly, fix drainage and trim vegetation. See reducing mosquitoes and how rain affects pests.

Late summer and fall: storm season
Atlantic hurricane season officially runs June 1 to November 30. After storms, clear debris, dry water-damaged areas and inspect for new entry points.
Winter: rodents and indoor pests
Cooler, drier months can send rodents and some insects looking for warm shelter. Seal gaps and check attics; see rodent prevention.
