    They’re attracted to the heat your devices put off. If possible, keep them powered off when not in use, instead of in sleep/rest modes as those can still keep some systems running warm enough to be inviting to pests. Keeping things elevated also helps, so if your PC sits on the floor, you should consider clearing some space on your desk, instead.

    If possible, nothing that’s plugged into a wall should rest on your floors. Elevate everything you can; your computers, your TV, your game consoles, your router, the brick for your laptop charger… Keep it all on a desk or shelf or something, if possible. If you have the resources, use an IR camera to scout for hotspots on your floors, as a lot of devices will put off more heat than you may assume.
