Hidden Household Pests You’re Probably Overlooking (And How to Get Rid of Them Naturally)

You vacuum. You wipe down counters. You even wash your sheets every week. But some of the worst pest problems aren't where you expect them—and they’re often woven into your daily routine.

Pests like dust mites, bed bugs, lice, and even fleas thrive in warm, dark, fabric-rich spaces. And it doesn’t take long for them to make themselves at home—especially in areas you use every day. The good news? You can fight back naturally, without harsh chemicals or toxic sprays.

Here’s where these invisible pests hide—and what you can do to eliminate them safely with help from Premo Guard.


1. Your Laundry Hamper: Mites Love It Here

Dirty clothes are full of sweat, dead skin cells, and oils—aka the perfect breeding ground for mites and lice. And once pests get into your hamper, it’s easy for them to spread to furniture, rugs, and beyond.

What to do:

  • Wash clothes and bedding on high heat

  • Avoid letting laundry pile up in open bins

  • Use Premo Guard Laundry Additive with every load to kill bed bugs, mites, and lice on contact. It’s safe, non-toxic, and fabric-friendly.


2. Your Gym Bag or Backpack: A Pest Travel Hub

These bags go everywhere—schools, gyms, offices, buses—and often land right back on your bed, couch, or carpet.

What to do:

  • Avoid placing bags on furniture

  • Store them off the ground whenever possible

  • Spray bags inside and out weekly with Premo Guard Bed Bug & Mite Spray to kill any bugs that may have hitched a ride


3. Your Favorite Couch or Recliner

Soft furniture holds more than just comfort. Dust mites and allergens love to hide in cushions, seams, and armrests—especially in pieces you use daily.

What to do:

  • Vacuum furniture regularly, including under cushions

  • Use removable covers that can be washed monthly

  • Apply Premo Guard Bed Bug & Mite Spray to eliminate mites from fabric surfaces. It’s scent-free, non-staining, and safe around people and pets.


4. Your Pillow (Yes, Even if You Wash Your Sheets)

You might be cleaning your sheets weekly, but when’s the last time you washed your pillow or sprayed your mattress? Over time, both become havens for bed bugs and mites.

What to do:

  • Wash pillows and mattress protectors monthly

  • Use Premo Guard Bed Bug & Mite Spray directly on your mattress, headboard, and bedding

  • Spray between washings to keep pests out and your sleep space clean


5. Your Pet’s Favorite Spot

Pet beds, blankets, and toys are often loaded with fur, dander, and pests like mites or fleas. These items are close to the floor and rarely cleaned as often as they should be.

What to do:

  • Wash pet bedding weekly

  • Vacuum surrounding areas frequently

  • Spray items with Premo Guard Pet Protector Spray to naturally kill fleas, mites, and lice—safe for pets of all ages
