A Stanford University study in 2001 demonstrated an "impressive" relationship between weather and home infestation. The study found that the majority of Argentine ant invasions of homes and apartments in the greater San Francisco Bay Area occur during winter rainstorms and summer droughts. It has also been well-documented in the UK that unusually damp and humid summer offer a perfect breeding ground for a wide-range of insects and other creatures in homes. It's found that bad, unusual or unseasonal weather has a knock-on effect on the local wildlife resulting in some very unusual home infestations on a grand scale. These home infestations occurs all over world, as shown in the following infographic by Twinkle Clean.
