Why Are There So Many Insects in Apartments, Buildings, and Urban Areas?
Even though apartments, buildings, and urban areas are always kept clean, the appearance of insects is still a common issue due to the following reasons:- These buildings are often densely populated. As a result, insects can originate from any apartment and rapidly multiply, spreading to other units.
- Garbage areas are also a major cause of frequent insect infestations.
- Additionally, basement areas and damp parking spaces create ideal environments for insects to thrive.
