Title: The Great Indoor Migration: Why Rain Increases Pest Activity in Corpus Christi
In South Texas, we are used to sudden downpours. While the rain is great for our local landscape, it creates a survival crisis for insects.
- Ants: When their underground tunnels flood, they seek higher, drier ground—often inside your walls.
- Roaches: American Cockroaches (Palmetto bugs) love moisture but hate being submerged. They’ll use your plumbing and weep holes as a highway to get inside.
- Termites: Damp soil is the perfect environment for subterranean termites to start “swarming.”
What to look for: Keep an eye out for “mud tubes” on your foundation or discarded wings near windowsills. If you see them, it’s time for a professional inspection.
