Silverfish Facts
Silverfish are small, slender insects that prefer moist and dark environments. Commonly found in basements, crawl spaces, and bathrooms, these nocturnal pests primarily feed on paper, glue, and plaster, posing a risk to books, photographs, and other delicate paper or fabric items.
Due to their small size, silverfish can enter homes through minute cracks and openings in foundations, walls, vents, and pipes. Once inside, they become difficult to control due to their ability to hide in tight spaces and their nocturnal habits. These insects are particularly drawn to damp areas, making them a persistent problem in moist environments.
Signs Of An Silverfish Problem
Silverfish are small, slender, and gray insects, allowing them to easily blend into their surroundings. Spotting a silverfish is a clear sign of pest activity on your property, and it often means there are more of them around. Additionally, if you observe damage to paper items like books, fabrics, or newspapers, this could indicate an infestation, as silverfish are known to feed on these materials.
How We Deal With Silverfish
At Ridtechs Pest Solutions, our expert technicians are well-prepared to handle silverfish infestations with comprehensive interior and exterior treatments. Inside your home, we target areas favored by silverfish, such as behind appliances, around entry and exit points, and near kitchen and bathroom sinks, with strategic spraying. Outside, our spray creates a protective barrier around your property, effectively preventing silverfish from entering.
For optimal results, we recommend ongoing pest management with Ridtechs. This approach not only helps prevent silverfish infestations but also facilitates early detection of potential issues. Given that silverfish can lay up to 60 eggs a year, proactive measures are essential to minimize the risk of infestation.
