Introduction: Why Winter Is Actually Peak Pest Season in Oviedo

When the temperature drops in Oviedo, Winter Springs, Chuluota, Geneva, and across Seminole and Orange Counties, most homeowners think pest problems disappear. The truth? Winter is when household pests Florida loves the most go marching indoors looking for warmth, food, and water.

At Superior GreenWorx LLC, a family-owned Central Florida company, we see the same pattern every November through February: calls about German roaches in kitchens, rodents in attics, and big scary spiders in garages skyrocket.

Don’t wait until you’re sharing your home with unwanted guests. Call us today at 407-630-4699 or visit https://www.superiorgreenworx.com/ for fast, eco-friendly relief.

The Top 5 Winter Pests Invading Oviedo Homes Right Now

1.  German Cockroaches – The #1 winter pest in Central Florida
These small, light-brown roaches explode in population once they get inside. One pregnant female can produce 300+ offspring in a season. Favorite hiding spots: behind refrigerators, under sinks, inside cardboard boxes.

2.  Rodents (Roof Rats & Mice)
As soon as nighttime temps dip below 65°, roof rats climb down palms and oaks and slip through the tiniest gaps. They chew wires, contaminate food, and leave droppings everywhere.

3.  Brown Recluse & Wolf Spiders – Common spiders in Florida homes during winter
These large hunting spiders follow prey indoors. While wolf spiders are harmless (just scary-looking), brown recluses can cause serious wounds.

4.  American Cockroaches (Palmetto Bugs)
Cold, wet weather pushes these giant roaches out of sewers and mulch beds straight into garages and crawl spaces.

5.  Silverfish & Earwigs
Love the same warm, damp spots as roaches — bathrooms, laundry rooms, and attics.

Why DIY Winter Pest Control Almost Always Fails in Oviedo

Store-bought sprays only kill the bugs you see — not the hundreds hiding in walls. Plus, most products aren’t labeled for German roaches (the hardest species to eliminate).

Our roach control Central Florida program uses:

•  Precision-placed gel baits that roaches carry back to the nest

•  Insect growth regulators that stop reproduction

•  Non-repellent sprays for long-term home pest protection Oviedo
