Spring activity typically starts
Through December, often year-round
Fall activity typically extends
What this means for scheduling prevention in Orlando: zone 10a's winters (average extreme minimum 30 to 35°F) determine how much winter die-off actually happens versus how much pest activity carries through. In a zone this mild, that translates directly into when preventive treatment actually matters most — scheduling a spring treatment right as activity resumes (rather than after you already see a problem) is more effective than a fixed calendar date that ignores your actual local climate.
