Always Check Your Walls for These Common Household Insects

Some insects are small, elusive, and easy to overlook—but they can quickly become a problem if left unchecked. Regularly inspecting your walls can help catch infestations early. Here are the most common culprits to look for:

1. Ants

Often enter through tiny cracks or around windows and doors.

Look for small trails on walls, especially near the kitchen or pantry.

2. Cockroaches

Usually hide in dark, damp areas like behind cabinets or baseboards.

Watch for droppings, shed skins, or small smears on walls.

3. Termites

Can silently damage wood in your walls.

Signs include tiny holes, wood dust, or hollow-sounding wood.

4. Spiders

Build webs in corners, ceiling edges, or behind furniture.

While mostly harmless, some species like the brown recluse can be dangerous.

5. Bed Bugs
