Why You’re Seeing More Bugs Inside Right Now (And How to Stop It)

Noticing more insects in your home lately? You’re not alone. As outdoor temps rise in early summer, many bugs head inside for food, water, and shelter. Here’s what to know — and how to keep them out.

It’s not just you — early summer means a major spike in indoor pest activity across New Jersey. You may have noticed ants on the kitchen counter, spiders in the bathroom, or even an unexpected visit from a centipede.

So what’s going on?

☀️ The Heat Is Driving Bugs Inside

As temperatures climb in June, insects that normally thrive outdoors start looking for cooler, more stable environments.

  • Heat and dehydration drive pests like ants, spiders, and roaches indoors
  • Your home offers food, moisture, and shade — a perfect combo for survival
  • Even a small crack or open screen can invite them in

🪟 Common Entry Points to Check

  • Unsealed windows and doors
  • Gaps in baseboards or under cabinets
  • Utility pipe entries (behind washers, under sinks)
  • Open trash bins and pet food bowls

If you’re noticing activity in the same areas repeatedly, the entry point is likely close by.

🛠️ What You Can Do Right Now

  1. Seal cracks and crevices around doors and windows
  2. Keep surfaces clean and food sealed
  3. Take out the trash daily and rinse bins when needed
  4. Use dehumidifiers in basements or damp rooms
  5. Schedule professional treatment for high-risk areas or recurring issues
