As temperatures rise in Nashville, insects and spiders are seeking refuge in local homes. These pests are drawn to the cooler temperatures and shade that homes provide. In some cases, they may also find water and food inside.

Small gaps around doors, windows, and vents can serve as entry points for these unwanted visitors. When they gain access to homes, they can potentially get into food and living spaces. Further information is available from WSMV 4 News on how these pests are getting into homes and what residents can do to prevent it.
