Silverfish
A Pest-Free Home Is a Happy Home
Known to damage wallpaper, books, and other paper items, silverfish are among some of the peskiest pests. They hide away during the day in moist, dark places such as attics, basements, and bathrooms, making it difficult to discover an infestation. If you suspect you have a silverfish infestation, you need ValuePest on your side. Our skilled team of pest removal experts know exactly what it takes to ensure your home is completely pest free.

What You Should Know about Silverfish
Silverfish are tropical insects that easily adapt to the structural environment. They can roam great distances looking for food, but once a food source is located, they remain close by until the supply is exhausted.
They love warm temperatures that range from 72 to 90 degrees. In structures, they rest during the day in small cracks and come out at night to feed. Silverfish can be found throughout a structure from the basement to the attic. Outdoors, they can be found in mulch and beneath siding and roof shingles. They readily feed on books, glue, cloth, sometimes dried meats, and dead insects.
The ValuePest Approach to Treating Silverfish
We begin by searching areas that provide moisture, harborage, and food. We then focus on reducing moisture, lowering the temperature, and removing infested items to help eliminate infestations. Careful and thorough application of baits and/or residual insecticides is key to an effective treatment.
A professional control process will include:
- Inspection: Inspect for areas of high moisture and temperature.
- Identification: Locate the nesting and harborage areas of these insects.
- Determination: Once you have identified the species and nesting sites, you must determine the proper treatment process.
- Control: Carefully and properly apply products and treatment.
- Communication: The last part of a successful silverfish control is communication. Our technician reports what was found during our inspection, what we did about it, and what you can expect from our treatment.
