They’re Crawling in the Walls: Why Pests Love Your Home More Than You Do
1. Moisture is Their Spa Day
Got a leaky pipe or that one basement corner that’s always damp? That’s a 5-star review from crawling insects such as: roaches, termites, and silverfish. Pests LOVE moisture — it’s like a beach vacation with none of the sunburns.
2. Warmth = Pest Paradise
When the weather drops, rodents and insects want the same thing you do: a cozy place to chill (or rather, not chill). Your attic or crawlspace becomes the Airbnb of choice for mice — no deposit required. Except mice poop.
3. Clutter is a Pest Playground
Boxes in the garage? Old newspapers? Holiday decorations from 2009? Spiders and rodents are setting up camp while you’re reading this. The more clutter, the more hiding spots.
So What Can You Do About It?
Aside from burning your house down and moving to the Arctic (not recommended), there are ways to fight back:
Seal cracks and entry points. If a pencil can fit through, so can a mouse.
Keep things dry. Fix leaky faucets, and consider a dehumidifier.
Store food in sealed containers. Even that “just for emergencies” bag of chips.
Clean up regularly. Especially in hidden spots like under the fridge or couch.
Call in the pros (hey, that’s us!). Because DIY only goes so far when you’ve got wasps in your walls.
