The best way to help prevent problems with occasional invaders is to regularly inspect your home’s exterior and seal any possible entry points. Make sure door sweeps and weatherstripping are in good working order and that screens are intact. Use caulk or another material to seal cracks in the foundation and exterior walls. Place caps on chimneys and vents, and fill gaps around wires, cables, and other utilities entering your home.

What are occasional invaders?
Earwigs, firebrats, pill bugs, silverfish, and sow bugs are examples of occasional invaders. These pests spend most of their time outside but often escape harsh weather conditions or a lack of moisture by moving indoors.
Occasional invaders usually aren’t a problem until they are. We typically don’t notice these pests outside in our yards, but they quickly wear out their welcome when they move inside. There is never any reason why occasional invaders or any other pest, for that matter, should be inside our Arizona homes.
-
Are occasional invaders dangerous?
Occasional invaders usually don’t pose a threat to people. However, they certainly are annoying to have in our homes and difficult to remove once they find a way inside. In addition, if occasional invaders are finding a way into your home, it is only a matter of time before other pests that are dangerous to people or property also find a way inside.
-
Why do I have an occasional invader problem?
Unlike many other pests, occasional invaders aren’t driven into our homes because they need food or nesting sites. They move into our homes to seek shelter from unsuitable weather. In Arizona, extremely hot or dry weather conditions drive occasional invaders indoors more often than not. These pests look for cool, damp shelter within our homes.
-
Where will I find occasional invaders?
Occasionally invaders live in the soil under trash cans, recycling bins, landscape ties, rocks, and mulch outside in our yards.
When occasional invaders migrate into our houses, they typically move indoors at ground level through cracks in the foundation, gaps under doors, or spaces around wires or cables entering the home.
Once inside, they quickly move to dark, damp areas like crawl spaces, cabinets under a sink, the back of closets, or laundry or utility rooms.
