What Are Crawl Space Pests?

Pests in crawl spaces are unwelcome guests like bugs, rodents, and other small animals that infiltrate the dark, moist, secluded space under your home.

Typical crawl space pests include:

Spiders
Termites
Ants
Cockroaches
Millipedes
Centipedes
Crickets
Silverfish
Beetles
Mice
Rats

These pests are often drawn to areas with excessive moisture and accessible entry points. Once inside, they can nest in insulation, cause harm to wood structures, and create conditions conducive to more infestations. This endangers your home’s structural integrity and health, as pests leave droppings, bacteria, and bad smells.

Addressing this problem promptly is key to maintaining a healthy and secure living environment.
