Pests are crafty creatures that seek out hiding spots inside safe, warm places. When rodents, insects, and other pests manage to get into your apartment, it can be a challenge to find and remove them since they'll always attempt to come back. Here are a few places where a pest control specialist will search for critters in your apartment. 

What Are Some Common Indoor Pest Hiding Spots?

1. The Attic 

Pests are drawn to attics because they're easily accessible, warmer than other areas, and often contain things that critters like to use for their nests. Insects such as termites, flies, bees, and moths are especially drawn to attics since they can easily enter through tiny cracks or crevices. 

If you're working from home and you happen to hear a buzzing or scratching noise in the attic above your apartment, it may be time to contact an exterminator to ensure that you don't have a bug infestation. 

2. Bedrooms 

Insects can often hide and remain undisturbed in bedrooms for days. They might stay within cracks in the walls, live in the folds of your sheets, or nestle into the carpet. 

It's especially common for pesky insects like fleas to live in bedrooms if you have dogs or cats. Cockroaches and spiders are also prone to enter bedrooms in their search for food. 

3. Kitchens 

Of course, pests love to hang out in places where they can easily obtain food. They'll thoroughly search your counters, floors, cabinets, and pantry for any food that's accessible. Therefore, it's key to seal your food in airtight containers so that pests can't get in. 

Insects, rodents, and other creatures are likely to move on to other areas if they can't easily get food in your kitchen. Discourage them from staying in this part of your apartment by securing your food supply. 

4. Bathroom

Several types of insects like hiding in dark, humid places, such as cabinets inside of your bathroom. Silverfish, centipedes, and drain flies are a few examples. A pest control specialist can check nooks and crannies within your bathrooms to ensure that pests can't easily get in.
