Seeing “random bugs” inside? Let’s seal the entry points

Earwigs in the bathroom. Silverfish in closets. Centipedes in the basement. These pests are often called occasional invaders because they usually come inside for moisture, shelter, or temperature changes—then show up where you least expect them. Maco Pest Control helps homeowners reduce occasional invaders with targeted treatments and practical prevention steps, so you’re not dealing with repeat surprises.

• Fix leaks and reduce humidity (especially basements/crawlspaces)
• Store cardboard and paper items in sealed bins
• Keep mulch/leaf litter and vegetation pulled back from the foundation

• Seal gaps around pipes, vents, and utility penetrations
• Replace worn door sweeps and repair window screens
• Reduce clutter in garages, basements, and storage areas

• Moisture (bathrooms, basements, crawlspaces, leaks, condensation)
• Harborage (mulch, leaf litter, wood piles, clutter, stored cardboard)
• Entry points (gaps around doors/windows, utility lines, foundation cracks)
• Seasonal shifts (heat, cold, heavy rain, drought)

Many of these pests don’t breed heavily indoors—but they can become a persistent nuisance if the conditions stay favorable.

• Earwigs
• Silverfish
• House Centipedes
• Crickets
• Stink Bugs
• Boxelder Bugs
