Information & Facts
Silverfish Control Services
Silverfish are fast-moving insects that can damage paper, books, clothing, and stored items. They thrive in dark, damp environments and are often found in bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and storage areas. While silverfish do not pose a direct health risk, their presence can indicate moisture problems and lead to ongoing property damage if left untreated.
Common Silverfish Problems
Silverfish feed on materials containing starches and sugars, including paper, glue, fabrics, and pantry items. Because they hide during the day, infestations may go unnoticed until damage has already occurred.
Common signs of a silverfish infestation include:
- Silverfish seen running across floors or walls, especially at night
- Damage to books, papers, wallpaper, or cardboard
- Small yellow stains or shed skins in cupboards or storage areas
- Activity in damp or humid parts of the property
Why Silverfish Enter Buildings
Silverfish are attracted to:
- High humidity and moisture
- Dark, undisturbed areas
- Paper, cardboard, and stored items
- Cracks, gaps, and poorly ventilated spaces
Moisture issues such as leaks or poor ventilation often contribute to silverfish infestations.
