Insects: a Hidden Winter Threat And Why Protection Matters

Most people assume winter eliminates insects. Cold temperatures may slow them down, but they don’t disappear, they simply move indoors. Homes, apartments, and storage rooms become warm shelters that allow moths, flies, and small insects to survive until spring.

Indoor Heating Attracts Pests

Heating systems create ideal environments for insects that would normally die outdoors. Warm air, low ventilation, and dark corners allow pests to hide and reproduce. Clothes moths love warm closets, pantry moths thrive in kitchen cabinets, and small flies can survive in drains, potting soil, and even recycling bins.

Winter Infestation = Bigger Spring Problem

When insects overwinter successfully, they multiply rapidly at the first rise in temperature. A few unnoticed moths in December can turn into a full infestation by March.

Preventing Winter Pest Growth

Using insect sprays in winter helps eliminate hidden pests before they spread. It also protects:

• Clothing and textiles

• Pantry food and dry goods

• Carpets, furniture, and upholstery

• Indoor plants and soil
