Common Myths About Household Insects
Many misconceptions circulate online.
One common myth suggests that every insect indicates poor housekeeping.
Not true.
Even exceptionally clean homes occasionally experience pest problems.

Modern houses also develop entry points over time.
Weather, landscaping, plumbing, and nearby construction can all influence insect activity regardless of a home’s age.
