Silverfish Control

Silverfish eggs are elliptically shaped and measure approximately 1 mm in length. Initially soft and white, silverfish eggs toughen and yellow after a few hours.

Silverfish may come from outside in search of food or a better environment to live in. Also, people may bring silverfish inside by mistake along with infested dry food products, boxes of books or paper, fabrics, and other items.

Silverfish do not bite humans or pets.

Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, particularly sugars and starches. They also will eat cellulose, paper, glue in books, linen, silk, and dead insects are all fair game.

These pests are difficult to control, but you can try using some sticky traps where you have seen them. For a better handle on your problem, call an Orkin Pro for help getting rid of silverfish in your home.
