Indications of a Silverfish Infestation

You may already be aware that you have a silverfish infestation, but here are a few of the most common signs silverfish exterminators in the Chicago Metro Area look for.

Observations

- Silverfish can enter your home through openings around windows, cracks and crevices in your foundation, or they can even fall out of light fixtures when they infiltrate attics or roofs.

Damage Caused

- When you notice chewed books, wooden chess sets, wallpaper, or natural fibers in clothing, such as cotton, you have a silverfish infestation. These may take the form of holes, wormlike trails, or chewing marks.

What You Should Know About Silverfish

The silver coating on their exoskeleton gives silverfish their name. When they wiggle around on their six legs, this coating gives them a metallic appearance.
Their movement is similar to that of a fish swimming in water.
Silverfish, unlike other pests such as spiders and scorpions, will not harm you.
They can, however, eat almost anything in your home. Silverfish have been observed eating nearly everything we eat as humans.
If they get inside your house, they will eat plant-based items such as wallpaper, books, cotton, and wall studs.
If silverfish infiltrate your Chicago Metro Area home, it is most likely due to dry soil outside your door. When this happens, they will seek moisture in wet areas of the house.

Silverfish Prevention Suggestions:

Common entry points should be sealed.
Reduce the amount of moisture in and around the house.
Before and after meals, clean up.
Cleaning around kitchen appliances and other potential hiding places helps to reduce hiding places.

Silverfish Frequently Asked Questions

WHERE CAN I GET RID OF SILVERFISH?

Silverfish are extremely difficult to remove without professional pest control assistance because they can eat almost anything. Vacuuming can help scare them back into hiding, but ultimately, you’ll want a silverfish extermination solution that can help you feel safe and comfortable in your own home. Call Preyon Pest Control right away to rid your home of these pests.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE SILVERFISH IN MY HOUSE?

The silverfish most likely came from the soil around your house. Perhaps the soil near the house dried out, so they moved to a wet spot inside the house to avoid drying out.

ARE SILVERFISH HARMFUL?

You want to get rid of silverfish because, while they do not bite, they can contaminate your food and are an annoyance. They can eat the walls, an old chess set, or even the carpet once they get inside your Chicago Metro Area home. Pest Control services are needed!

WHAT EXACTLY ARE SILVERFISH?

Silverfish have six legs, two antennae, and three antennae-like structures on their abdomen that resemble three tails.

WHAT DO SILVERFISH CONSUME? WHAT CAUSES SILVERFISH TO BE A PEST?

Silverfish treatment is critical because they can consume almost anything. One of the characteristics that makes this bug a nuisance for Chicago Metro Area homeowners is its destructive ability.

Silverfish can consume “people food,” as well as wallpaper, books, wall studs, and anything made of cotton or natural fibers.

ARE SILVERFISH GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT?

They are, in fact, when they aren’t eating your books, clothes, or walls. These little silvery guys are the world’s garbage cleanup crew. They help clean up rotting things, from a dead animal to a fallen tree, because they can eat both living and decaying material.

WHERE DID THE NAME SILVERFISH COME FROM?

Silverfish are named after the silvery coating on their scale-like exoskeleton. They also have a quick, fish-like wiggle in their movement.

ARE SILVERFISH REALLY SILVER? ARE SILVERFISH CONNECTED WITH FISH?

Silverfish have a silvery coating on their scale-like exoskeleton, but they aren’t silver, and they have nothing to do with fish.
