Piles of Paper
Your stacks of neglected papers could be a breeding ground for pests, says Kristiana Kripena, the content marketing director for InsectCop, a website that provides pest-fighting information. According to Kripena, you should get rid of “paper that is rarely touched and that is old, such as old books, letters, etc., because there are many pests that love to feed on cellulose. Some of the most common ones are silverfish and cockroaches.”
Combat an infestation by investing in proper, air-tight storage for your documents, letters, and books. Simply storing them in a drawer or on a shelf in your closet is not going to do the trick.
