The bugs that turn up after heavy rain or a dry spell, earwigs, crickets, centipedes, stink bugs, are wandering in from outside, not breeding in your house.
Suddenly finding earwigs, crickets, centipedes or stink bugs inside? These are outdoor bugs that wander in through gaps around the doors and foundation, usually after heavy rain drives them in or a dry spell sends them looking for moisture. They are not breeding in your house. We treat the entry points and the outside band where they come from.
Earwigs, crickets, centipedes, pill bugs and stink bugs live in the mulch, leaf litter and damp ground around the house. When the weather changes, too wet or too dry, they push inside through the gaps at the doors, the garage and the foundation. Finding a few is a weather-and-entry issue, not a sign of anything wrong indoors.
We treat the exterior band around the foundation and the entry points where they slip in, which stops most of them before they reach the door. Clearing damp leaf litter and mulch piled against the walls helps too. If they are getting in steadily, a treatment on a cycle keeps the numbers down through the wet and dry swings.
