Why Pests and Bugs Thrive in the Bathroom

The main factor that makes bathrooms an ideal home for pests is moisture. Between the sink, shower, toilet and tubs there is no shortage of water for them to survive. Without proper ventilation or absorbent floor mats, tile floors and wood walls can easily collect moisture.

This damp and humid environment can quickly cause mold to form, which is a common food source for certain pests. Leftover water in the sink or bathtub, as well as plumbing leaks, can further contribute to the buildup of moisture. While common bathroom bugs such as cockroaches, ants and silverfish are directly attracted to water, this damp environment can also invite predators, such as centipedes and spiders, who prey on these bathroom bugs.
