Fall Bug Invasion: Pests Trying to Get Into North Dakota Houses

I don't know if you've noticed lately, but there is an invasion happening right now in North Dakota. And no, I'm not talking about an alien invasion.
I heard it the other night: chirp-chirp, chirp-chirp, chirp-chirp.

It was beyond annoying. There was an incredibly loud cricket in my garage. It went away, but then a few days later, one made it into my house, and just the other day, another one was on my doorstep.

Insect Invasion

I came to the rational conclusion that this was some sort of plague or bad omen, but after a little research, I found out that there are some bugs, like crickets, that like to try to get into North Dakota homes during the fall, more than others.

According to Yahoo.com, crickets absolutely try to creep into our homes, but brace yourself, they aren't the only critters trying to sneak in.

Bugs That Are On The Move

The source says there are 13 types of bugs that try to get in during the fall months.
Here are a few of the ones you want to look out for.
1. Centipedes
While the centipede was one of my favorite characters in James and the Giant Peach, I could sleep much more easily knowing they aren't in my house.
2. Spiders
You've probably seen webs popping up here around the house. We tend to see more of these crawling around our homes in the fall.

3. Stink Bugs
The source says these stinkers are leaving their outdoor nests to seek shelter from the cold. Be careful what you squish!
4. German Cockroaches
There is no bug worse than a cockroach. These pests aren't fond of the cold, and they are currently headed to a theater near you. Spray, spray, spray and clean clean, clean to keep them out.

These are just some of the many bugs that are currently on the move, seeking warmth inside your home this fall. Keep your eyes open, and when in doubt or need of assistance, call a professional.
