Silverfish and firebrats are primitive, nocturnal, moisture-loving insects that feed on starch, paper bindings, and wallpaper glue. They are commonly found in crawl spaces, bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry areas. If you have an active infestation, review our general insect control solutions to eliminate them.
Why Moisture Control is Critical
Unlike other insects, silverfish absorb moisture directly through their exoskeleton from the ambient air. Using basement dehumidifiers and laundry room exhaust fans to keep indoor humidity below 50% dried out their eggs and limits nesting success. Eaves and crawl space checks are central to our structural protection plans. Review these options on our services list.
Applying Precision Spray Treatments
To eliminate silverfish, our technicians inject targeted residual dust treatments and perimeter sprays directly into baseboard joints and plumbing wall voids. This blocks their crawling trails permanently. Walk through our business history on our about us page.
Sealing Expansion Joints
Because silverfish are extremely thin, they migrate between floors by crawling through baseboard gaps. Sealing wood floor expansion joints and wall crevices restricts their movement and prevents them from returning. Contact us directly on our contact page to set up a comprehensive home audit.
