Why pests choose your home
Every infestation, no matter the species, boils down to three resources the pest is hunting for.
- Food — open containers, exposed leftovers, pet bowls, kitchen spills, even tea-stained mugs.
- Water — dripping taps, AC drains, damp walls, plant saucers, leaky pipes.
- Shelter — cracks in walls, false ceilings, the back of wooden furniture, storage clutter, unused store rooms.
Remove any one of these three reliably and the population shrinks. Remove all three and most species cannot establish a colony in the first place.
