What Are Occasional Invaders?
Occasional invaders are insects that typically live outdoors but will occasionally find their way into homes and businesses, especially during certain weather conditions or seasons. While they may not pose significant health risks like some other pests, they can still cause discomfort, damage, and unsightly infestations.
Here are some common occasional invaders in Tampa:
Beetles
- Varieties: Carpet beetles, ground beetles, and ladybugs are some of the beetles you might encounter indoors.
- Problems: Some beetles, like carpet beetles, can damage fabrics, carpets, and other household items. While ground beetles and ladybugs don’t pose much of a threat, they can still be bothersome in large numbers.
Earwigs
- Appearance: Earwigs have distinctive pincers on their rear ends and elongated bodies, often causing alarm when spotted.
- Behavior: They prefer dark, moist environments and will enter homes in search of shelter or food. While they don’t harm humans, they can damage plants and cause discomfort indoors.
Silverfish
- Characteristics: Silverfish are small, wingless insects with a metallic sheen and a fish-like movement. They thrive in damp, humid areas like bathrooms, basements, and kitchens.
- Damage: Silverfish feed on starchy materials such as paper, glue, and textiles, which means they can damage books, wallpaper, clothing, and other household items.
Centipedes
- Appearance: With their long bodies and numerous legs, centipedes are often unsettling to encounter.
- Behavior: Centipedes are predators that feed on other insects, which can be beneficial outdoors. However, their presence inside can cause distress. They are usually found in damp areas and can bite if handled.
Millipedes
- Difference from Centipedes: Millipedes have more legs per body segment than centipedes and are slower-moving. Unlike centipedes, they don’t bite.
- Problem: Millipedes feed on decaying organic matter and will often enter homes after heavy rains. While they aren’t harmful, large numbers of them can be unpleasant to deal with.
Why Do Occasional Invaders Enter Your Home?
Occasional invaders often seek shelter in homes and businesses for several reasons:
- Weather: Heavy rains, extreme heat, or cold can drive pests indoors in search of better conditions.
- Moisture: Many of these pests, like silverfish and earwigs, are drawn to damp, humid areas.
- Food Sources: Occasional invaders may enter buildings in search of food, including decaying organic matter, starchy materials, or other insects.
