Moisture: A Magnet for Pests


Many pests are drawn to moisture. Bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and basements often provide the damp conditions bugs love. Even slow leaks or standing water can invite unwanted guests.

Reducing excess moisture helps make your home less appealing to insects—and more comfortable for you.

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.
