Across the Carolinas, pests will be coming out to play this spring.

And we can thank the snow for that, according to the Rock Hill Herald.

According to the Bug Barometer, the snow insulated the ground, creating a space for bugs to survive.

If we have the warm, wet spring our meteorologists expect, we could see more termites, mosquitoes, and ants.

That could also mean more flies and cockroaches in the summer.
