What are the signs of a silverfish infestation?
Signs of a silverfish infestation include seeing live silverfish in your home, particularly in damp, dark areas like basements, bathrooms, and attics. Silverfish are small, wingless insects with elongated, teardrop-shaped bodies and silvery scales.
If you suspect a silverfish infestation, prompt action is essential. Magna Pest Solutions offers a free inspection as part of our comprehensive silverfish control program. Our trained professionals can quickly identify the extent of the infestation and provide targeted treatments to eliminate these pests from your home.
Where might you find silverfish?
In the home, silverfish are commonly found in damp, dark areas such as basements, bathrooms, attics, and kitchens. They often hide in cracks and crevices, behind baseboards, and in storage areas.
Geographically, silverfish are found worldwide and can thrive in various environments. They are particularly prevalent in areas with high humidity.
When are silverfish invasions likely to occur?
Silverfish invasions can occur at any time of the year, but they are often more noticeable during the warmer months when they are more active. During these times, silverfish are more likely to enter homes in search of food, moisture, and shelter.
