5. Cockroaches
Cockroaches are one of the most common pests in urban and humid areas. Thanks to their flat body and adaptability, they can be easily introduced through pipes and drains. They are attracted to food scraps and moisture, so an unhygienic bathroom can become the perfect place for them. Sealing drains well and cleaning frequently are key measures to prevent their presence.
6. Frogs
Although it may seem surprising, in areas with hot and humid climates, frogs can climb up the pipes looking for water or shelter. Some small species, especially in tropical areas, manage to get in through toilet pipes. To avoid this, it is advisable to install grates or covers with mesh in the drains.
7. Centipede
These elongated, multi-legged insects are adept at sneaking through small cracks. They love dark, damp places with organic debris, such as poorly ventilated bathrooms. They can arrive through pipes connected to outdoor areas or sewers. Keeping the pipes clean and dry is the best way to prevent their entry.
