Ever notice how the moment you spot one black bug, you suddenly see them everywhere? That’s your brain’s Reticular Activating System (RAS) working overtime. Your brain is now primed to detect movement, so every dust speck or flickering shadow becomes a bug. It’s not a conspiracy; it’s your built-in alarm system.
In reality, most infestations are small and localized. A single fruit fly can lay up to 500 eggs near a rotting banana, but that doesn’t mean a plague is coming. You’re likely looking at a few random visitors, not an insect army. The real trick is managing the conditions that attract them, not declaring war on the entire insect kingdom.
