Silverfish Pest Control

Silverfish also known as firebrats and bristletails are flat and have elongated bodies that are 1/3 to 3/4 inch long and broad near the head.  Silverfish are fragile and wingless insects, covered in scales with and have two antennae on their head and three more long, antennae-like appendages at the rear of their bodies, hence the nick name bristletails.

Silverfish are a problem for property and building owners. Generally, they live inside buildings in damp dark places where there is ready access to the foods they enjoy. These foods include paper, glue, paper, books, photographs, clothing, cotton, linen, wheat, cereals and other such products.

There are several ways to deal with a silverfish pest problem. All are best administered by professional pest control operators. The pest control operator does need to be licensed for structural pest control.
