Pest Control of Silverfish
Silverfish are harmless enough to humans but they can destroy books, old papers, wallpaper, carpets and clothes with their droppings. They also love to make unsealed pasta, oat and cereal packets their home, so you'll want to get rid of them quickly. Inside a home, silverfish are found in basements, bathrooms, attics, garages, kitchens and your bookshelf!
These pests are scavengers that will eat virtually anything available, especially carbohydrates and proteins. Outdoors, they consume vegetable matter, but once indoors, they will feed on flour, dried meat, glue, wallpaper, cereal, rolled oats, and other starches.
They can be difficult to control as they are generally nocturnal and move about the property in search of food and somewhere to nest. PestSmart technicians will develop a smart tailored plan to eliminate your silverfish problem.
More Information on Silver Fish
Silverfish are hardy creatures and can live for several months without food. Their natural habitat is in soil, and under stones in the garden but they are particularly fond of insulated ceilings when they move indoors. They are often found in high numbers. Mostly active at night, they prefer areas with higher humidity. They feed on food rich in carbohydrates, in particular they eat the paste in book bindings, along with paper and also fabrics. They have also been known to eat mould, glue, toothpaste, plaster and cardboard.
