How to prevent kamitetep infestation

Bugs are attracted to potential sources of food, and they won’t stick around if there’s nothing to eat. So routine cleanings can go a long way to keeping your home pest-free, explains Nature Pest, a pest control company in Florida. Minimize clutter that can gather dust and crumbs. (This will also make cleaning easier.) Use airtight containers to store food, and get rid of scraps promptly. Don’t panic if you notice signs of kamitetep, since they may be passing through during their hunt for nutrients. But keep your eye on the situation so they don’t multiply into an infestation.

If deep cleaning and dehumidifiers aren’t working, you may need to use an insecticidal spray or call professional exterminators to step in. Fortunately, these bugs don’t directly harm people or pets, but they are a nuisance, can damage property, and can spread somewhat quickly. Also, spiderwebs are one of their favorite foods, so if you have a spider problem as well, let the pest control staff know during their visit.
