![]() ![]() What Causes Water Bugs in the Home?Ĭold weather often drives water bugs indoors. They’re surrounded by their own droppings and discarded exoskeletons, on which mold grows and adds to the already-disgusting stench. The scenes in these places are grim: multitudes of water bugs thriving in the moisture, laying egg sacs that will increase the colony’s size exponentially. They’ve been discovered in septic systems and observed pouring in the thousands from city manholes. In urban environments, they hide in dumpsters, gutters, sewers and storm drains. Flying American roaches might live inside tree hollows or beneath loose tree bark. They inhabit forest floors, the hollows beneath rocks and the landscaping around homes. Neither of these insects spends any time in the water (unless they have to) their nickname merely refers to their constant need for moisture. These insects prefer to live among wet undergrowth and decaying organic material.
