DO PALMETTO BUGS BECOME MORE ACTIVE WHEN IT RAINS?
Yes, they are seeking dry shelter to prevent themselves from drowning and unfortunately it will most likely be in your home.

The phrase "palmetto bug" refers to several large species of cockroach. In Florida, this means the American cockroach or the Florida woods cockroach. These are both large insects. American cockroaches are an inch and a half or more long and can fly. Florida woods cockroaches can't fly, but are even bigger, measuring two inches or more.

You might sometimes see these large bugs in your home, and you might also have heard they become more active when it rains. Is this true?

The answer is yes. If you think you see them more during heavy rain, you're right. You are much more likely to see palmetto bugs in your home during or after a heavy rain than when it is dry, especially if it's also at night (palmetto bugs are nocturnal). They are hard to miss given their size and dark color.

However, this is not because these bugs have become more active. They're around all the time. However, most of the time, they are not in your home. Most of the time these large insects live in the sewers and drains, and generally don't bother anyone, although they are disturbing to look at.
