Occasional invaders are seasonal pests that typically live outdoors but occasionally stray or find their way into homes and businesses, especially when environmental conditions drive them inside. While they don’t usually reproduce indoors or cause significant damage, they’re considered nuisance pests, which means their presence, while not dangerous, can still be alarming and unpleasant.
These pests often enter buildings in search of shelter, moisture, or food, and can become a significant issue if they invade in large numbers.
Some of the most common insects that home and property owners get during certain times of the year include the following:
All of the above like to find warm places to hide inside your home and surrounding buildings at certain times of the year. Often, occasional invader infestations occur in the fall or spring, but a few come out into homes and buildings during the winter.
If you’re noticing these pests in your home or business, Western Exterminator can help. Our local pest control technicians will inspect your property, identify the source of the problem, and create a customized seasonal pest control plan to keep occasional invaders out.
Occasional invaders are rarely a threat to humans. The one exception would be scorpions which can sting. Most of the time, the problem is that these pests are a nuisance, getting into everything. These insects may damage fabrics, paper, and other organic materials around your home. Some can also produce unpleasant odors or trigger allergic reactions in certain people.
Their presence usually means there are openings that pests are using to get inside. If these insects can enter, so can more serious pests like cockroaches or rodents. Taking care of occasional invaders helps to identify any vulnerable entry points around your property that need sealing and repairing.
Occasional invaders rarely cause major damage or spread disease, but they’re still a nuisance pest. They often show up during seasonal changes, especially when outdoor conditions like temperature or moisture levels drive them inside.
These types of pests are often a symptom of a larger problem. For example:
Silverfish are attracted to moisture. If you find silverfish in your home, consider installing a dehumidifier and repairing leaky pipes.
Field crickets can feed on fabric, especially soiled clothing, eating large areas and leaving holes.
Scorpions spend 90% of their time hidden. They may crawl into folded blankets, shoes, or clothing. Their bite can be dangerous to humans.
Carpet beetles are often confused with bed bugs because they are very small, hide really well, but also chew up carpeting and fabrics.

Occasional invaders usually live outside in soil, under rocks, or in mulch and leaf litter. When the weather changes, especially in spring or fall, they may come indoors looking for shelter, moisture, or food. They often enter through cracks around doors, windows, pipes, or foundations.
Most occasional invaders are not dangerous to people or pets, though some may cause allergies. They don’t typically bite, sting, or spread disease. However, they are considered nuisance pests, meaning their presence indoors is mostly unwelcome and alarming, and may point to larger issues in your property.
Carpet beetles and silverfish are attracted to dark, quiet areas with food sources like fabric, paper, or stored goods. A sudden appearance usually means they’ve found conditions they like, such as moisture, warmth, or clutter. Seasonal changes can also drive them inside.
Start by sealing cracks around doors, windows, and your foundation. Reduce moisture inside your home by fixing leaks and using dehumidifiers. Keep outdoor lighting to a minimum, and move mulch or firewood away from your home’s walls.
For ongoing help, consider hiring a seasonal pest control expert.
Some do. Pests like boxelder bugs, stink bugs, and cluster flies may find a warm spot inside your walls or attic to spend the winter. You might not see them until they try to get back outside in the spring, but their presence means they found a way in.
