Silverfish Pest Control

These small, silvery-grey pests are often found in dark, damp areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and basements. While they are harmless to humans and pets, they feed on starchy carbs, and an infestation can cause serious damage to your belongings, including books, wallpaper, and clothing. What’s more, they feed on mould too, so if you find silverfish it could be a sign that you have a mould problem somewhere on your property.

Silverfish are good at remaining undetected, so even if you spot one or two of these illusive pests, it could mean you have a bigger problem on your hands.

What are Silverfish?

Silverfish are small, wingless insects with silvery-grey scales that move in a fish-like manner when running, hence the name. As a species, they are believed to pre-date dinosaurs and can go for weeks without food. They thrive in humid environments, like your bathroom or kitchen and although harmless to humans and pets, silverfish cause damage by feeding on paper, glue, fabric, and starchy materials, leading to ruined books, wallpaper, clothing and food contamination.

How can I identify a silverfish infestation?

You may spot live silverfish, especially at night, as they are nocturnal. If you see one or two, there are probably a lot more hiding somewhere nearby. Other signs include small, irregular holes in paper, wallpaper, books, and fabrics, as well as tiny droppings resembling black pepper in areas where they hide.

How do Silverfish Get into My Home?

Silverfish enter homes through cracks and gaps around windows, doors, and pipes. They can also be brought in through infested items like cardboard boxes, books, or furniture. They thrive in humid areas, making bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and attics obvious entry points.

Can I Get Rid of Silverfish on my Own?

While DIY methods like using dehumidifiers and sealing cracks can help reduce silverfish populations, professional pest control is often required to completely eradicate silverfish and their nests. Like all bugs, silverfish hide in hard-to-reach areas and can multiply quickly, making them difficult to eliminate without expert intervention.

How Long Does It Take to Get Rid of Silverfish?

The time it takes to eliminate silverfish depends on the size of the infestation. In most cases, silverfish can be controlled within a few days to a couple of weeks. With severe infestations, follow-up visits may be necessary to ensure complete eradication.

How can I prevent silverfish from coming back?

To prevent silverfish from returning you can take a few steps to reduce the amount of humidity by using dehumidifiers and fixing leaks. Sealing cracks and gaps around windows, doors, and pipes, blocks the entry - not only of silverfish - but other pests too.

Clean regularly, especially in dark, undisturbed areas and keep food, paper, and fabrics in airtight containers where possible to reduce potential food sources. Your Xpress exterminator can also provide ongoing prevention tips suited to the conditions in your area.
