Experienced Silverfish Exterminators

An experienced pest control specialist is important to effective silverfish control because they can help identify the species of silverfish infesting your home and where they are coming from. During a short period, a few of these bugs can become a large infestation because they can lay up to three eggs every day over their three-year lifespan. Another reason silverfish infestations get out of control is that they tend to move around at night when you're less likely to see them. The longer they go unnoticed, the more of them you'll have to deal with.


Silverfish extermination needs a thorough inspection and knowledgeable approach, which is why a professional exterminator is your best weapon against an infestation. At EcoGuard Pest Management we are experienced and knowledgeable in all forms of silverfish treatment methods from local treatment to prevention strategy. EcoGuard utilizes an integrated pest management (IPM) approach we have over 40 years of combined experience providing silverfish control services.

Are Silverfish Harmful?

Part of silverfish pest control is determining what risks silverfish pose to you and your household. Silverfish don't sting or bite humans and don't spread diseases like other pests. However, they aren't natural or without harm. 


Allergies

Silverfish can trigger allergies in some people. Most allergic reactions are mild but unpleasant. These pests can also aggravate dust allergies as they tend to hide in hard-to-reach areas and can stir up dust in your home. 


Property Damage

The biggest danger of a silverfish infestation is the damage they can do to your home and property. They will eat through cloth, paper, cardboard, glue, flour, and other starchy or cellulose materials. 

Books, files, magazines, upholstery, clothing, shoes, and your pantry staples are all at risk if you have a silverfish problem. They also eat the corpses of dead insects or even cannibalize their own kind on occasion.


Other Pests

Silverfish can both attract other pests and be attracted to your home by other pests. In your home pest control plan, silverfish should always be included. Carpet beetles often show up in the same places where a silverfish infestation is in progress. Check for signs of other pests if you notice silverfish in your home.

Silverfish FAQs

  • What Is the Best Way to Get Rid of Silverfish?

    Sticky traps are a great way to catch silverfish. If you don't have any on hand, try wrapping the outside of a glass container in masking tape and putting starchy food or wet paper in the jar. The silverfish can climb the tape to get into the jar but won't be able to climb back out because the sides are too slick for their feet.


    Silverfish dislike cedar oil and bay leaf oil, so spraying cedar oil in your home or leaving out dried bay leaves can repel any silverfish that are in your home. This is a safer method than leaving out poison, especially if you have pets or young children who might accidentally handle or eat the poison.

  • Can Pest Control Get Rid of Silverfish?

    Effectively getting rid of silverfish requires professional help from an expert in pest control. Pest control professionals can find the right silverfish treatment for your home to keep the pests out permanently. 

  • How Do Exterminators Get Rid of Silverfish?

    Exterminators know the best silverfish treatment for a specific environment or climate. One of the common ways they control silverfish infestations is to find the nest and cover it in diatomaceous earth, then spray the area either with a pesticide or a green alternative like cedar oil. 

  • Can You Ever Get Rid of Silverfish?

    Total silverfish extermination is difficult without an exterminator. You need to get rid of the nest and also any stray individual insects. Females also sometimes lay eggs in multiple places, so there may be more than one nest in your home. 


    An exterminator can find any nesting sites and lure other individuals out into the open to trap and dispose of them. Both steps are important because the eggs can survive for two to three years in unfavorable conditions. If you don't get rid of the eggs and the adult insects, your infestation can return again and again. With professional help, permanent silverfish control is possible!
