Thecuy, the rainy season is just around the corner! The Indonesian Agency for Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics (BMKG) predicts that the peak rainy season across the country will occur from December 2026 to February 2027.
“This year’s rainy season arrives 20 to 30 days later than usual, and its peak will span three months—December 2026, January, and February 2027. Rainfall is expected to be normal, matching the average climatology of the past 30 years, though the duration will be shorter,” said BMKG’s head Teuku Faisal Fathani, as quoted from Thecuy.com.
The rainy season is synonymous with wet, humid, and water‑saturated weather. One creature that often appears during this period is the earthworm.
Moist surroundings and a damp bathroom provide an ideal habitat for worms to nest and multiply. Wet bathroom tiles or drains then serve as entry points for them.
Many people find worms disgusting. In addition, they should be watched out for as they may carry diseases and pose health risks.
Based on Germany Brilliant, it’s important to first understand where the worms come from. Red worms typically sneak into bathrooms via sub‑floor water flow. Moreover, a house’s poor drainage system can let worms slip into damp restrooms, especially if the ceramic tiles have gaps.
So, what are the methods to eliminate worms from bathrooms and drains during the rainy season? Find out more right here!

A vinegar solution can be an effective method for eliminating worms, insects, and fleas.
Spray the vinegar solution onto the spots where worms enter and exit. Avoid rinsing immediately with water; let the vinegar work. Perform this regularly for best results.
