SILVERFISH CAN POSE A THREAT TO HEALTH AND PROPERTY

Have you noticed that pages in your books seem to be filled with holes? What about your clothes? Have you noticed unexplained yellow stains or flecks of pepper-like grains throughout your home? Have your allergies been acting up? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be sharing space with silverfish and not even know it.

These pests feed on sugars, starches, and cloth material, meaning an infestation can cause damage to everything from books and clothes to your wallpaper. In addition, they can target your flour, sugar, and even coffee grounds. They shed a protein called tropomyosin which can trigger allergies in some.

The good news is you don’t have to share your space with these pests.

DON’T SHARE YOUR SPACE WITH SILVERFISH

Because silverfish are most active at night, you may not even know you have them in your home. When you do finally see one, an infestation may already be widespread. The good news is our team of experts can quickly locate silverfish hiding places and eliminate these nuisance pests. Once exterminated, our team will seal up entry points, helping to ensure these pests and others never return.

ABOUT SILVERFISH

Silverfish are small, slender pests that are silver or gray in color. They get their name from their fish-like appearance and movements. Silverfish are wingless insects with long antennae and three long tail-like appendages on their posterior. Adult silverfish range in size from 1/2 to 1 inch in length.

Silverfish are pests that are commonly found in homes and other buildings. They are believed to have originated in the tropics and then spread to other parts of the world. Today, silverfish can be found on almost every continent. They are active all year round. However, they are most active at night when it is dark outside.

Please note silverfish do not bite. However, they can be a nuisance because they are known to eat paper products, clothing, and other items found in homes and buildings. Silverfish can also damage books by eating the binding and pages.
