When you reinstall the cover, the balloon creates a slimmer, protective channel.
This balloon trick works best when paired with good bathroom habits. Keeping the space as dry as possible, wiping surfaces after showering, and cleaning around the drain help reduce the humi:dity that attracts these pests. All of these small steps make your bathroom less appealing to insects.
Lastly, check for tiny cracks or gaps around pipes, tiles, or walls, and seal them if necessary. Even the smallest openings can become entry routes. With basic upkeep and the balloon method together, you can drastically cut down on unwelcome pests and keep your shower area cleaner, fresher, and more comfortable.
