Silverfish Control
Silverfish Extermination & Prevention in Las Vegas — Protect Your Books and Belongings
Silverfish are small, wingless insects recognized by their silvery scales and three “tail” bristles. Though they do not bite or transmit disease, silverfish consume paper, glue and fabric, leaving irregular holes in cherished books and photos. These pests thrive in moist environments such as basements, bathrooms and kitchens. Our dry desert climate doesn’t eliminate them—indoors, leaking pipes, irrigation overspray or poor ventilation create the moisture they crave.


Our Unique Approach To Silverfish Control
1. Inspection & Species Identification
We thoroughly inspect your home to locate silverfish hiding spots—basements, crawl spaces, kitchens and bathrooms—and determine whether firebrats or other bristletails are present. Understanding the species helps us tailor treatment (silverfish prefer cooler areas; firebrats seek warmth).
2. Moisture Assessment & Mitigation
Using moisture meters, we identify leaks, high-humidity zones and structural issues. We recommend repairs (fixing plumbing, improving ventilation, grading soil) to reduce water sources.
3. Habitat Modification
We guide you in sealing cracks under baseboards, around pipes and vents; decluttering storage areas; and storing cereals and paper items in airtight containers.
4. Targeted Treatment
Our technicians apply desiccant dusts (e.g., diatomaceous earth) and non-repellent insecticides to cracks and crevices where silverfish hide. These treatments dry out insects and prevent reinfestation, while minimizing exposure to your family and pets.
5. Follow-Up & Monitoring
Because silverfish can live for years, ongoing monitoring is essential. We schedule follow-up visits to assess moisture control measures, refill treatments and adjust strategies as needed.
