Regions that have very few freezes have the most insect activity during cold months. In the south and southwest it’s not uncommon to see bugs well into the winter, especially indoors.
People also tend to let their pest control slide once summer is over, but that is when many insects increase activity as they prepare for the winter. We recommend regular pest control treatments for full seasonal coverage. Here are some of the fall weather insects you’re most likely to see in Alabama. Yellow Jackets Yellow jackets are usually associated with the summer, but they can be seen buzzing around throughout November some years. You’re most likely to see them during an al fresco dinner, around hummingbird feeders and out by the garbage can. Stink Bugs If you see small, greyish-brown specks on the exterior of your home you may have a stink bug problem. These smelly critters hunker on the sides of homes to stay warm. You’re most likely to see them when the exterior wall has full sun exposure. Stink bugs are something you want to handle right away. If they get the chance they’ll move inside and stay for the winter. Monarch Butterflies They make an epic journey from the northern United States down to Mexico for the winter. They’re often spotted roosting in large numbers up in the trees. Ladybugs Ladybugs go from being garden dwellers in the summer and early fall to being shelter seekers in late autumn.
