Silverfish have powerful teeth that can chew through clothing, paper, wallpaper, and even materials in your home. They’re annoyances at best, and when they’re at their worst, they can even damage treasured family relics such as irreplaceable photographs!
They do not spread bacteria or diseases that are harmful to you or your family, but their excrement can have an unpleasant odor. Silverfish infestations aren’t time-sensitive, but they’re still a problem you’ll want to address.
We inspect for the presence of general pests whenever we visit your house for any of our services, so we’re always on the lookout for silverfish! We utilize a professional grade insecticide along the exterior of your home and along the interior perimeter as well to fully treat for silverfish (along your skirting boards).
To control silverfish, hire a professional team (like us!) because we also employ a fine dust treatment around water sources and hard-to-reach regions. Silverfish can lurk behind dishwashers, behind sink cabinets, in drains, and in laundry areas, making them tough to control if we don’t pay special attention to these locations.
