Aruba’s sun may be great for beach days, but it’s also a trigger for increased pest activity around your home and business.
As temperatures rise, so does the likelihood of encountering unwanted guests, such as ants, rodents, cockroaches, and other tropical invaders. If you learn how Aruba’s warm climate affects pest behavior, you will be able to prevent infestations before they start with the help of Professional Pest Control!
Read ahead and find out all about it!
Why Heat Makes Pests More Active During Hot Weather
Pests are cold-blooded, meaning their body temperature and activity levels are influenced by their environment. As Aruba heats up, especially during dry spells or after light rainfall, many pests become more active, visible, and aggressive in their search for food, water, and shelter.
Common Heat-Driven Pests in Aruba
In Aruba’s warm, humid environment, these are some of the most active pests:
Cockroaches
- Thrive in warm, moist environments like kitchens, bathrooms, and drainage areas
- Can contaminate food and trigger allergies
Ants
- Search for food indoors during heat waves
- Build colonies near homes or under concrete

Rodents
- Seek cooler indoor areas when the outside gets too hot
- Contaminate surfaces and food with droppings
Mosquitoes
- Breed in standing water
- Heat speeds up their life cycle, meaning more bites and a greater risk of disease

What You Can Do to Stay Protected
Here are a few steps every Aruba resident or business owner should take during the hot seasons:
- Seal entry points: Cracks in windows, doors, and foundations are open invitations.
- Eliminate standing water: Buckets, planters, or clogged gutters create breeding zones.
- Clean regularly: Pests are attracted to crumbs, grease, and clutter.
- Inspect frequently: Contact our professional inspection services for a thorough assessment and a FREE inspection.
