===Weather===
Various weather conditions in a given amount of time cause certain pests to invade human households. This is because the insects are in search of food, water, and shelter.
Damp weather causes reproduction and growth enhancement in many insect types, especially when coupled with warm temperatures. Most pests concerned at this time are [[ant]]s, [[spider]]s, [[cricket (insect)|cricket]]s, [[cockroach]]es, [[ladybug]]s, [[yellowjacket]]s, [[hornet]]s, [[mouse|mice]], and [[rat]]s.
When conditions are dry, the deprivation of moisture outside drives many pests inside searching for water. While the rainy weather increases the numbers of insects, this dry weather causes pest invasions to increase. The pests most commonly known during dry conditions are [[scorpion]]s, ants, [[pillbug]]s, [[millipede]]s, crickets, and spiders. Extreme drought does kill many populations of insects, but also drives surviving insects to invade more often.
Cold temperatures outside will cause invasions beginning in the late summer months and early fall. [[Box elder bug]]s, [[cluster fly|cluster flies]], ladybugs, and [[silverfish]] are noticed some of the most common insects to seek the warm indoors.<ref name="arabicking">{{cite web | url = https://www.arabicking.com/get-rid-of-a-dead-rat-and-dead-rat-smell/ | title = Dead rat tips | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110916143650/http://www.terminix.com/Information/Weather/ | archive-date=16 September 2011 | work = Terminix.com | date = 19 March 2008 }}</ref> In general, insects are poikilothermic animals; thus meaning their level of activity is substantially depended upon their surrounding environmental conditions. An increase in the temperature will result in an accelerated metabolism of the insect; hence resulting in an increased activity.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Jaworski T, Hilszczański J |date = December 2013 |title=The effect of temperature and humidity changes on insects development their impact on forest ecosystems in the expected climate change |journal=Forest Research Papers |volume=74 |issue=4 |pages=345–355 |doi=10.2478/frp-2013-0033 |s2cid=53992457 |issn=2082-8926 |doi-access=free }}{{Dead link|date=October 2022 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
