You may want to check that the clean out access to the outside waste line for your house is intact. I did not realize that our house had a double clean out until not long after we had bought our home in The Villages. I was doing yard work & heard water running about 15-20 feet from main cleanout access (white PVC screw top next to house) while my husband was showering. Grass had grown over the spot where the flat cover for the second access had apparently been hit by a lawn mower at some point. There were plastic fragments from the broken cover on closer inspection. Moving the grass, I saw running water at bottom of 4-6" wide round open pipe. No odor or wet ground around opening. We replaced the cap (it sits more or less flush with the ground), & no more of the bugs we had been finding in bathrooms. We were lucky, as larger creatures could have come into house by same route. This situation may not be uncommon, as I reported same type cover damage recently near tee box at one of exec golf courses, with big hole someone could step in if not careful.
