Like humans, pests need three things to survive: air, water, and food. Certain rooms in your home are more conducive pests due to the conditions and attractiveness, according to FOX news.

• Kitchen/Dining Room - These two rooms are usually the biggest problem because of the abundance of two key ingredients: food and water. Most insects can be found in cabinets and/or pantry areas, thriving on the food staples housed there. If a pest can go two feet and have all the can eat and drink, why would he travel farther?
• Bathroom - A dark, wet, and cool place away from the elements of the outside world. Again, they have plenty of moisture to survive and have found a place where they can nest and breed easily while being contained in an environment that provides what they need. Bathrooms can easily attract a multitude of species of insects, so it also becomes a feeding ground for most common species of spiders as well.
