Small Openings, Big Bug Problems

Bugs don’t need much space to get inside. Cracks in walls, gaps around doors, and unsealed windows are all easy entry points. What looks harmless to us can be a wide-open door to ants, spiders, or roaches.

Sealing up these small openings is one of the simplest ways to keep pests outside where they belong.

Why Bugs Come Inside in the First Place

Outside, bugs have jobs to do. Inside your home, they’re usually just looking for survival. Most household pests enter for the same reasons people do—food, water, and shelter.

Tiny crumbs, pet food, or even a leaky faucet can attract insects fast. Once they find what they need, they tend to stick around. Understanding what draws bugs inside makes it easier to stop infestations before they start.

Bugs Have a Job — Just Not in Your House

In the wild, insects play an important role in the ecosystem. Bees pollinate plants, ants help aerate soil, and spiders keep other bug populations in check. But when bugs move indoors, they stop being helpful and start being a problem.

Common household pests are usually looking for three things: food, water, and shelter. Crumbs, moisture, and small entry points can turn your home into the perfect bug hangout. Understanding why pests show up is the first step in keeping them out — and making sure your home stays comfortable, clean, and bug-free.
