Insects seem to have an uncanny ability to find their way into our homes, especially during those times of the year when they’re most active. As temperatures rise in summer or drop in winter, small black bugs often gather around windowsills and doorframes. These pests are not only unsightly, but they can also pose a threat to homeowners and belongings, depending on the species. Windows provide the perfect environment for insects so it’s no wonder they flock to these areas, creating a nuisance that can be frustrating to manage.
