Common household pest options
Scope depends on the home, the service requested and the participating provider.
Living areas
Spiders and house crickets can appear around quiet corners, window edges and areas with easy entry or food sources.
Closets and storage
Silverfish and clothes moths may be found around stored fabrics, paper or humid spaces that receive little airflow.
Wood and foundation areas
Termites, mice, earwigs, centipedes and millipedes have different entry and habitat conditions that may be considered in service planning.
IN THE HOME
Pair the pest with its setting
A provider may ask which room is involved and whether food, water or stored materials are nearby. These details help focus a plan on approved common household pests.

Prevention that fits the room
Reduce food access
Store pantry goods in sealed containers and wipe crumbs from shelves, counters and appliance edges.
Manage indoor moisture
Dry sink areas and keep storage spaces ventilated where practical; persistent dampness can attract some household pests.
Close common entry points
Weatherstripping and sealed gaps around doors or utility lines can reduce easy access into living spaces.
