  1. Silverfish – Love damp environments. Keep the bathroom dry and seal cracks.
  2. Cockroaches – Attracted to moisture and food. Seal entry points and clean regularly.
  3. Drain Flies – Breed in slimy drains. Clean drains with a brush and boiling water.

  7. Centipedes – Swift movers that feed on pests. Lower moisture and seal entry points.
  8. Psocids (Booklice) – Thrive on mold and mildew. Control moisture and clean with disinfectant.
