Question 1

Why do I see ants even when it’s cold outside?

Accepted Answer

December nights push ants indoors, especially toward warm appliances and plumbing lines.

Question 2

Do cockroaches become more active in winter?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Roaches move toward heat sources — ovens, water heaters, and refrigerators — during colder months.

Are spiders more visible in December?

Accepted Answer

Cooler weather drives them out of outdoor hiding spots and into garages, corners, attics, and storage rooms.

Question 4

Why are rodents more noticeable this month?
