While it may sound like a nightmare, it’s a grim reality that some creatures can enter your home through your toilet. The warm, moist environment of your bathroom can be irresistible to certain animals. However, you don’t have to tolerate these unwelcome visitors.
Whether large and bulky or small and creepy, there are measures you can take to keep these critters from crawling in through your toilet. Your safety is paramount, so always proceed with caution. If you’re ever unsure, it’s best to consult a professional.
Spiders
Spiders typically don’t enter your toilet through the pipes, but they can hide under the toilet seat lid and even build webs there. In areas with dangerous spiders, it’s crucial to check your toilet thoroughly before sitting down. Keeping your toilet clean can also deter these eight-legged intruders.
Lizards
In regions with a large lizard population, these creatures can find their way into your toilet. Lizards are attracted to water and are small enough to navigate plumbing systems. They often follow smaller bugs into your toilet, so maintaining a clean toilet can help reduce the risk.
