Yes! Mold entices various creepy crawlies. Certain types of bugs are attracted to mold for different reasons, one being that some insects eat the mold itself. Some insects, like cockroaches, are drawn by mold because this fungus breaks down substances like paper and wood, making those materials easier for cockroaches to eat and digest.

What Insects Are Attracted to Mold?

• Mold mites are tiny, white bugs that thrive by eating mold and mildew.
• The smell of mold attracts termites. Fungal growth softens the wood, making it easier for termites to eat and make tunnels within it. 
• Booklice, like cockroaches, are also attracted by moldy paper. Though you'll usually find them in books, you may see them on other paper products and around windows. 
• Foreign grain beetles eat fungus, such as mold on wood, especially in older homes. 

How Can I Treat or Prevent an Insect Infestation Due to Mold?

• If your home has an insect infestation, the first thing to do is get an exterminator to eradicate them. The insects pose health hazards, such as mold mites shedding their long hairs into the air, which can cause allergic reactions.
• Once you've got rid of the insects, call a mold remediation company to do a thorough inspection. If your home contains enough mold to attract insects, there's a good chance it's growing places you won't be able to reach or find yourself. 
• After the inspection, your mold technicians will perform the complete remediation process. They'll also recommend ways to keep the mold from returning, such as changing the insulation or installing a dehumidifier.
