Silverfish Pest Control

Silverfish are nocturnal and move very quickly. They try not to be seen by humans and the severity of an infestation may go unnoticed for long periods of time, allowing for exponential growth. Silverfish also reproduce quickly.

Silverfish are known for their destructive feeding habits, oftentimes ruining papers, clothing and wallpaper. They commonly infest dark, damp areas around paper and linen sources. Silverfish infestations can be found in kitchens, laundry rooms, bathrooms, attics and basements.

Addressing a silverfish infestation requires treatment of both adult silverfish and their eggs. Most do-it-yourself remedies prove ineffective over time, with brief periods of relief followed by another infestation. There are a variety of silverfish traps on the market. However, these traps target individual insects and cannot exterminate entire silverfish populations.

Silverfish infestations require professional treatment. Your local pest control expert will be able to assess the situation within your home and determine the most effective methods of extermination. At the first sign of a silverfish infestation, contact your local pest control professional.
