Your kitchen is the heart of the home—and unfortunately, it’s also a hotspot for pest activity. From ants and cockroaches to rodents and pantry moths, the search for food leads them straight to your countertops and cabinets.
It’s no surprise that many homeowners are asking:
“How to pest-proof my pantry?” or
“Why are there bugs in my cabinets?”
Let’s break down the cause—and the cure.
The Problem: Kitchens Invite Unwanted Visitors
Insects and rodents love food just as much as we do. The kitchen and pantry offer warmth, moisture, and easy access to crumbs and dry goods. If not properly stored and maintained, even clean homes can develop pest issues.
According to the Tennessee Department of Health:
“Do not leave food out. Clean dishes and pans often. Do not leave pet food out overnight.”
These simple habits are key to keeping your kitchen pest-free.
