Lepisma saccharina, the scientific name for silverfish, are tiny, wingless insects distinguished by their fish-like motions and silvery-gray look. These insects are frequently found in basements, bathrooms, and kitchens because they thrive in damp, dark spaces. Silverfish are a concern in both homes and businesses. They eat starches and sugars and can harm paper products like books, wallpaper, and other writing materials.

Was referred to USS by my brother. Had an ant infestation that would get really bad every summer. Muzafar came out on short notice and treated my house. He was very cordial and knowledgeable. Got the job done at a fair price and haven’t seen an ant since. Will deff recommend and be using his services yearly to treat my house.

How to spot a silverfish?

Effective silverfish removal requires the ability to identify them. Keep an eye out for these qualities:

  1. Size and Shape: Silverfish are between half and one inch long, with a teardrop-shaped body. They have a metallic sheen because of the silver or grey scales covering their body.
  2. Antennae: Silverfish have two lengthy antennae that extend from their heads and touch a cricket’s antennas.
  3. Movement: Unlike other common domestic pests, these pests move in a wiggling motion akin to that of fish.
  4. Habitat: Humid, dark conditions are preferred for silverfish. They can be found in bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and other high-humidity places.

What impact do silverfish have in and around my house or place of business?

Because they lose scales, silverfish can induce allergy reactions in certain individuals due to the dust they produce. If left untreated, they will nibble on things and feed on the sugars and carbs in books, cereals, cardboard, newspapers, installations, and clothes, which will cause harm to your possessions. Their waste can leave your property with obvious damage and holes that are shaped strangely.

FAQs: Frequently asked questions

Behind the refrigerator, microwave, toaster, and oven, use a hoover. Clear out the spaces where silverfish are visible. Silverfish can be instantly killed by using a pesticide. Use a fogger product for silverfish control and removal where they hide if you have a severe infestation.

Silverfish are repulsed by the mothball odor. Put these mothballs wherever you frequently see silverfish. The aroma of bay leaves and cloves bothers silverfish.

Although they can live in most temperatures, silverfish prefer to live in damp, gloomy places like bathrooms, kitchens, attics, and basements. Paper and wet clothes particularly draw them in. They are often discovered in boxes that are kept in sheds and garages.

Silverfish are not harmful, do not transmit disease, and do not bite people or other animals. On the other hand, if they enter from the outside and contaminate food, they could spread bacteria.

Nymphs and adults alike are susceptible to extremes in temperature. Temperatures above 26 °C limit their lifespan, while temperatures above 40 °C only allow them to survive for a few hours. Development and activity are greatly impeded at temperatures below 16 °C and cease completely at 11 °C (4).

While silverfish are active year-round, their indoor activity tends to peak in the spring. In fact, the winters offer silverfish greater moisture content and ideal outdoor living conditions.

Usually, the eggs hatch after three to six weeks. Within 40 days, newly hatched silverfish get the characteristic glossy look of mature silverfish, resembling little adult silverfish. Throughout her life, a typical female silverfish can lay up to 100 eggs. The lifespan of a silverfish can be two to eight years.
