Researchers have found that these species evolve over the years in ways that make them more suitable to living in these environments. The changes they undergo as a species make it easier for them to find food and shelter and to thrive. Unfortunately, that means they\u2019re finding new ways to adapt to living near humans, even in the same buildings, which is leading to increased infestations.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you live in the city or suburbs, pests can be a major problem.
