Identifying Your Silverfish Problem
Silverfish typically enter homes through tiny cracks and crevices, and they can gain access to the interior of a house or apartment through windows, doors, air vents, and other openings. These insects prefer damp, dark areas such as basements, attics, and bathrooms, and they feed on many common household items such as wallpaper, books, paper, glue, and even clothing.
Our silverfish control specialists can help you protect your…
- House Mice - These are the smallest rodents and usually have gray fur on their bodies and brown belly fur.
- Roof Rats - The roof rat has dark brown or black fur and gets up to 16 inches in length. They are great climbers and often get in through the roof, which is how the roof rat gets its name.
- Norway Rats - The Norway rat is the most common type of rat in the United States. They have gray and black hair and can reach up to 17 inches long when fully grown.
We have extensive knowledge of silverfish behavior to provide a fast and reliable solution to your rodent problem. Our technicians will find where they are getting in, their nesting sites, remove the pests, and provide tips for avoiding future problems.
Finding & Eliminating Silverfish
In order to prevent a silverfish infestation, it is important to keep the home free of clutter and to seal any cracks or openings that could allow the pests to gain access. Routinely vacuuming and dusting can also help to reduce the chances of an infestation. Silverfish also do not tolerate high temperatures or too much light, so it is important to keep the home well-ventilated and well-lit.
If a silverfish infestation is already occurring, it is best to contact a professional pest control company. Banner Pest Control can use a variety of chemical or non-chemical treatments to get rid of the pests. Silverfish may also be trapped by using glue traps or bait, but it is important to make sure the traps are placed in areas where the silverfish are likely to congregate.

- Keeping the house clean and wiping up spills right away
