Silverfish Infestation, Elimination

Do You Have A Silverfish Problem? We Can Help!

Just by looking at a silverfish, you probably wouldn’t expect this little insect to do much damage around your home or office, but you’d be wrong. Silverfish are capable of ruining clothing, papers, and wallpaper as they enjoy chewing holes in things. Spotting just a couple of these bugs indoors could quickly lead to a full infestation, which will become very problematic.

Silverfish are capable of thriving in most climates, but they love living in high-humidity areas. In most cases, people find them in basements, bathrooms, and attics. Since they do feed on sugars and starches, you might also find them making themselves at home in your kitchen.

With a lifespan of two to eight years, you definitely don’t want any of these pests settling in your home or office building. To keep them at bay, it’s a good idea to keep your building as dry as possible. We recommend using a dehumidifier in areas that tend to be humid in order to prevent an infestation.

How We Work

If you’re wondering if you have an infestation in your home or office building, there are some telltale signs you can look for. First, you may discover their cast skin, which is a strong indicator that there are some lurking nearby. If you have wallpaper, you might also notice small holes appearing the wallpaper because they like to eat the glue that’s used to apply it.

Once you suspect you may have an infestation of silverfish, it’s important that you contact a professional exterminator immediately. The tricky thing is that an infestation of these critters can go unnoticed for quite some time. Because they reproduce quickly, this means there could be exponential growth by the time you catch on and seek professional help. Plus, the traps and insecticides you find at the store are not capable of addressing a full on infestation.

To start, we will first come in and assess the situation. In order to get rid of them completely, we have to treat for both adults and their nesting location. Then, we’ll determine the most effective methods of extermination for your needs.
