What are these creepy crawlers?

Silverfish are older than dinosaurs

These bugs are ancient. They've been around for more than 400 million years! During that time, they've spread out to every continent on Earth except Antarctica.

When they run, it looks like they're swimming

Why are these insects called fish? Well, if you've seen a silverfish scurrying about, you may have noticed that their bodies sway back and forth. This motion resembles swimming, hence their name.

They prefer moist, humid parts of the home

Silverfish need a water source, and they may find it in your bathroom or kitchen. Leaky pipes and water-filled gutters are particularly attractive to silverfish.

Why Are Silverfish Such a Big Deal Anyway?

These nasty bugs can cause damage to your belongings

Many people find out they have a silverfish problem when they go to pour some cereal and find a bug inside. These bugs can also be in your flour and other grains, or in meat and vegetables.

Food infected by silverfish should be thrown out, because they've likely been excreting in the food. Plus, since they are often in moist places like the bathroom, they are full of germs. You don't want to be eating anything they've touched.

Not only do silverfish eat grains and vegetables, they also eat books and furniture. Yep, these bugs can eat glue, paper and linens. They'll chew right through book bindings or the glue in wallpaper or carpets.

They can often do irreparable damage because their chew marks go unnoticed for so long. You can protect your belongings by storing books, magazines, and newspapers in a secure, dry place and by having a professional pest control company apply treatments around your home.

Silverfish regularly molt their skin, leaving scales everywhere they go. These shedded scales are gross to find in your home, and they can also cause allergies for people in your home.

About Silverfish in Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex

Identifying Silverfish
Wondering if you have silverfish in your home? You can identify them by their tear-shaped bodies and long antennae. They can be silver in color, but they can also be brown or gray.
They are covered in scales — another reason they are likened to fish — and they have three long appendages. They are usually a half-inch in length, but can be up to an inch.
Finding the Entry Points for Silverfish
If you have a silverfish problem, you may be asking how they ended up in your home. Silverfish likely arrived via small cracks or crevices in your home, usually around windows, doors, or in the basement or attic. Finding and sealing these entry points is critical to getting rid of silverfish — and other pests — for good.
Protecting Your Home From Silverfish
As mentioned, closing any small gaps around your home can help keep silverfish out. You can also protect your food and belongings by keeping them in secure, air-tight packaging. Preventative pest treatments sprayed around the exterior of your home can act as a barrier against these pesky pests.

Our pest experts can kick silverfish out right away

“Definitely Recommend!! They explained everything on the phone and showed up the next day and serviced my home and yard to perfection. They even gave me an extra treatment around my shed. It’s been 3 weeks now, haven’t seen any ants or wasps or critters. Will edit my review if I see something in the future. Overall 10+”
