4 Creatures That Can Crawl Through Bathroom Pipes and How to Stop Them (Page 2 ) | June 18, 2025

Use drain covers or fine-mesh grates.

Keep the yard clean and free of debris or tall grass near drainage areas.

Install a plumbing barrier or backflow valve in vulnerable systems.

3. 🪳 Cockroaches
Why they come:
Roaches love moisture and darkness — making bathroom  drains an ideal habitat. They often crawl up from sewer pipes or plumbing voids.

How to stop them:

Pour boiling water, vinegar, or baking soda + vinegar mix down the drain weekly.

Seal gaps between pipes and wall/floor areas with caulk.

Use drain stoppers overnight or when you’re away.

4. 🕷️ Spiders
Why they come:
While spiders don’t live in water, they may use cracks or dry drain pipes as entry points. They’re attracted to small insects that gather in bathrooms.

How to stop them:

Keep bathroom areas dry and ventilated.

Clear hair and debris from  drains regularly.

Spray natural repellents like vinegar or citrus oil around the sink or shower.

🛡️ Final Tips to Keep Your Bathroom Pest-Free:
✅ Clean drains regularly with natural or enzymatic cleaners
✅ Install one-way drain covers in all bathroom outlets
✅ Inspect your plumbing system annually for cracks or leaks
✅ Don’t ignore gurgling sounds, foul smells, or slow drainage — these may be signs of pest activity

Next: If you want to kill mosquitoes naturally and effectively, drink coffee.
