I teach on the top floor of an old mill and when we open the window there are loads there. Suppose what I'm saying is they can get anywhere what your doing is the right thing just check and seal. Put draft excluder on the doors where possible.

My father in law used to put paraffin outside the back door this seemed to help but I don't know why?

hope you sort it.
