household pests
Domestic uninvited guests
Household pests are animals that infest homes and cause damage, spread disease, or create nuisance.
The category includes insects like cockroaches, ants, and termites; rodents like mice and rats; and other creatures like bedbugs and silverfish.
We called an exterminator about our household pest problem.
The term sometimes extends figuratively to unwelcome people who won't leave.
