What are occasional invaders in pests?

Pests that only live outside
Pests that occasionally move in but do not complete their life cycle indoors
Pests that are always found indoors
Pests that migrate seasonally

The correct answer is: Pests that occasionally move in but do not complete their life cycle indoors

Occasional invaders are defined as pests that may enter buildings sporadically, typically during specific environmental conditions, but do not complete their life cycle inside. This behavior is often influenced by changes in weather or food sources, prompting pests to seek shelter or resources in human environments. These pests might include species like crickets or boxelder bugs that infrequently invade homes but do not thrive or reproduce indoors. Understanding this classification helps pest control technicians manage infestations more effectively and differentiate between pests that require long-term management strategies versus those that merely present temporary issues.
