The location can sometimes provide a clue about why the insect entered your home.
Many insects are simply looking for food, moisture, warmth, or shelter.
Why Insects Enter Homes
Your house can provide exactly what small insects need to survive.
Common attractions include:
- Moisture around bathrooms and sinks
- Food crumbs and uncovered food
- Houseplants and damp soil
- Cracks around windows and doors
- Outdoor lights that attract flying insects
- Warm, sheltered areas during changes in weather
So finding one insect doesn’t automatically mean your home is infested.
