Silverfish Pest Control
Perhaps you've spotted them in the bottom of your bathtub, near the drain in your sink, slinking along the crevice where the wall meets the floorboard, or scurrying through a pile of books or photographs. Silverfish, a common household pest, prefer these areas, for they feed on substances such as glue, sugar, hair, and cellulose, which are often found in soap products.
Silverfish also have been known to feed on cotton, linen, silk, synthetic materials, and even leather. Dead insects are even fair game to the silverfish, too. Once you are aware of the silverfish diet, it is easy to see why these pests enjoy living inside human homes. Silverfish are capable of damaging books and fabrics, and they are no fun to find in the sink or bottom of a drawer. It is wise to seek professional pest control to eradicate all silverfish once and for all.
As the silverfish prefers a humid environment with plenty of crevices to crawl around in, you should take action to prevent humidity in your home and keep rooms tidy and without hiding spots for the silverfish. Cleaning washing areas of soap residues and removing any old boxes, books, or food items may help decrease the food source of the silverfish, but sanitizing alone does not exterminate these pests. Unfortunately, the silverfish has been around for millions of years, and it is capable of surviving up to one year without food. Professional pest control is called for to eliminate these hearty critters from your home.
