Various pests, including rats, mosquitoes, cockroaches, silverfish, drain flies, centipedes, ants, and spiders, can find their way into your toilet and bathroom through plumbing and structural vulnerabilities. These pests can compromise your health, damage your home, and cause discomfort. To prevent them, seal any gaps or holes in your plumbing, use baits or ultrasonic repellents for rats, eliminate standing water for mosquitoes, caulk gaps and keep your bathroom clean for cockroaches, use repellents or diatomaceous earth for silverfish, clean drains and use drain screens for drain flies, seal cracks and use repellents for centipedes, remove food and water sources for ants, and seal entry points and use spider-repelling plants or pesticides for spiders.
