How to Deal with 10 Common Bathroom Bugs

Insects are drawn to bathrooms because of the moisture, warmth, and water sources. Here are common bathroom pests and how to deal with them:

  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.
  4. Spiders – Seek moisture and small insects. Regular cleaning and peppermint oil can deter them.
  5. Ants – Enter looking for food and water. Fix leaks and store food in sealed containers.
  6. Earwigs – Like damp, dark areas. Reduce humidity and seal gaps.
  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.
  9. Pill Bugs – Need moisture and can wander in from outside. Keep the bathroom dry and seal gaps.
  10. Springtails – Feed on mold and algae. Keep surfaces dry and clean.
