Spotting an unfamiliar bug indoors can be unsettling—but most household insects are harmless nuisances, not dangerous invaders. However, some can signal moisture problems, entry points, or even seasonal changes. Below are common indoor insects and what their presence actually means—so you can respond wisely, not worry unnecessarily.
1. Ants (Especially in Kitchen)
- What it means: They’ve found a food or water source—crumbs, spills, pet food, or leaky pipes.
- Action: Clean thoroughly, seal cracks, fix leaks. Most are just foragers—not a nest inside.
2. Spiders (Cellar, Corner, or Bathtub)
- What it means: They’re hunting other insects (like flies or ants). Their presence often means other bugs are around.
- Action: Reduce clutter, vacuum webs, seal windows. Most spiders are beneficial and non-venomous.
3. Silverfish (Bathroom, Basement, or Bookshelves)
