Considering moving to Florida? Sure, Florida has its benefits, amazing weather. no state income tax, and a low cost of living. People say Florida is the best place to live in but boy are they wrong!

We’ve done our research to find some of the most popular reasons not to move to Florida. In terms of animal infestation, overwhelming heat, large population, and so on. Let’s get into the top 10 reasons not to move to Florida.

1. Animal Problems.

Due to Florida’s warm climate, it has become the center for unwanted animals for decades. Studies show that more than 500 non-native plant and animal species wreak havoc in the state

Pythons, Feral hogs, Iguanas are commonly found in homes and on the street of Florida, just as bears casually stroll around in garages. So, if you can’t handle living around alligators and other wild animals, then you definitely shouldn’t move to Florida.

2. Roach Infestation.

According to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, 30% of Florida homeowners report at least one infestation per year.
