Is There Such a Thing as a 'Good Pest'?

Believe it or not, there are some pests that can be beneficial to have around your home. Here are some examples of good pests that can be helpful:


  • Spiders: Spiders can help control the population of other insects in your home, such as flies and mosquitoes. With a few exceptions, most are generally harmless to humans.

  • Centipedes: House centipedes can help control the population of other small insects that hide in your home, including carpet beetles, cockroaches, silverfish, and spiders.

  • Praying Mantis: Praying mantises are also known to eat other insects, including flies, mosquitoes, and moths.

  • Ladybugs: Ladybugs are known to eat aphids, which can damage plants in your garden.

  • Green Lacewings: Green lacewings can help control the population of houseplant destroyers like mealy bugs and spider mites.

  • Honey Bees: Honey bees are important pollinators and can help your garden thrive.



 

While the above pests can be helpful, it's still important to keep your home clean and free of the pests that can cause damage or spread disease.
