Occasional invaders spend most of their time living outside, though they occasionally find their way into homes. Occasional invaders usually don’t pose a significant danger to people or property. They can, however, be challenging to control and an annoyance to have in your home. Described below are some of the most common species of occasional invaders living in the Dallas area:
Most occasional invaders like silverfish, pillbugs, sowbugs, and earwigs are not dangerous. They will, however, invade homes in large numbers and are a nuisance to deal with. Other species of occasional invaders pose a bit more of a “danger” to people or our belongings. Crickets, for example, chew on and damage houseplants, clothing, furniture, and rugs. Millipedes can spray a “toxic” foul-smelling fluid to defend themselves and centipedes have the potential to deliver painful bites to people.
The most common reason that occasional invaders become a problem inside of a home is that the weather outside becomes too unsuitable for them to live comfortably. Weather that is too hot, dry, wet, or cold will move occasional invaders inside. These pests typically move indoors through openings in the foundation or exterior walls of a home. They also get inside through gaps found under doors, especially basement doors. Sometimes occasional invaders are brought inside on things like potted plants, newspapers, storage boxes, furniture, or other items that were once outside.
Most occasional invaders that you come across live outside in similar environments—places that are dark, damp, and sheltered. They live in the soil under mulch, in gardens, under landscape ties, in rock piles, and under wood or leaf piles. Some may live in the soil of potted plants. Once inside, they take up residence in crawlspaces, bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, under sinks, and other dark, damp places that mimic their outdoor environment.
