Around exterior areas, occasional invaders will be hiding under leaf piles, woodpiles, porches, and decks, near crawl spaces, and underneath outbuildings; anywhere that is dark, secluded, and full of moisture is a favorite for most occasional invaders. Once inside, occasional invaders gather in bathrooms, kitchens, basements, attics, or cabinets and closets.

Occasional invaders tend to find their way into properties that offer easy access to food, water, shelter, and preferable temperatures. If your property has lots of potential entry points, improper food storage, and moisture issues, you may find yourself prone to picking up occasional invaders. Address these factors to reduce your chances of an infestation.

Most occasional invaders aren’t that dangerous and don’t tend to be aggressive or present serious health risks. However, all insect invaders bring the risk of triggering allergic reactions in certain individuals, and most occasional invaders will destroy stored items, fabrics, and food with their droppings or chewing activities. Crickets, especially, are notorious for the loud noises they create and the restless nights they cause.

Occasional invaders are those insects that occasionally wander into properties, most often due to changes in outdoor weather or pursuit of easy shelter, food, or moisture. Occasional invaders include insects like centipedes, silverfish, and crickets, and while most occasional invaders aren’t particularly dangerous to encounter, infestations can be unsightly, loud, and destructive to your property.
