Silverfish Control

A silverfish is a creepy crawler that often can be found in sinks, tubs and other areas that see a lot of moisture and water flow. They get their name for the look of their bodies, which somewhat resembles a fish, and due to the fact that they enjoy being near water. This is because they feed on starchy, wet foods and molds. They are also known to feed on textiles and paper, which makes them a real problem in buildings such as libraries and archives which contain a lot of valuable books and papers. A silverfish can also wreak havoc on a room with wallpaper, since they can actually slip behind spaces in the paper and feed on the adhesive along with the wallpaper itself.

SILVERFISH INFO

Lots of people tend to find silverfish in sinks and around drains, which is mainly due to the fact that they need a great deal of moisture to survive. They eat food that is high in sugar, as well as mold and fungus, which tends to build up around plumbing in people’s homes, apartments and offices. Usually, a silverfish can slip its way into a building under a roof shingle or through tiny cracks around a window, door or other exposed area of the home. For the most part, silverfish are active and feed at night time to avoid detection, and prefer to spend time in areas that get a lot of humidity. Most commonly creating their home close to a food source which may include paper products or damp clothes and linens.

SILVERFISH PREVENTION AND DETECTION

If you have a significant silverfish infestation in your home, apartment or office, there are a few telltale signs to look for. Silverfish are prone to leaving yellow trails on fabric and walls that they crawl around on, and also will shed their skin regularly. If you should find small, dry pieces of what looks like a transparent insect, it is likely that there is a significant amount of silverfish hiding on your property. To ensure that silverfish don’t get into your home or property, it is important to make sure you keep closed rooms and attics well ventilated, and make sure there are no buildups of moisture that can attract the silverfish. You can accomplish this with a dehumidifier or an air conditioning unit, and also by vacuuming any cracks or crevices where silverfish may try and enter or stay hidden from detection.
