Pest control in Key Biscayne, FL

Pest season in Key Biscayne

NOAA's 1991–2020 climate normals for the CAPE FLORIDA, FL station show an average temperature of 78.7°F, about 55.3 inches of precipitation a year spread over roughly 74 days with measurable rain or snow, 0 nights at or below freezing and 55 days reaching 90°F or more. Monthly averages never fall below 50°F (the coldest month averages 70°F), so ants, cockroaches and other insects can stay active outdoors year-round rather than going dormant for winter. Average temperatures are at or above 50°F all year.

Moisture and pests

At about 55.3 inches a year, Key Biscayne is wet by national standards. Damp soil, gutters and crawl spaces favor subterranean termites, mosquitoes breeding in standing water, and moisture-loving pests such as cockroaches, silverfish and carpenter ants in water-damaged wood.

Homes and pest entry points

The median year built for housing in Key Biscayne is 1977, and about 59% of its 7,310 housing units were built before 1980. Homes from this era often have settled foundations, aging weatherstripping and wood trim that can let pests in, and many have crawl spaces or basements worth checking for moisture. About 77% of housing units are in buildings with two or more units, where cockroaches and bed bugs can move between neighboring homes through shared walls and plumbing.
