Need help identifying silverfish?

What causes sliverfish infestations?

Silverfish infestations are caused by high humidity levels and the availability of starchy materials. Silverfish are attracted to paper, glue, and fabrics. High humidity and moisture in areas like basements, bathrooms, and attics create favorable conditions for silverfish activity. Structural gaps, cracks, and openings provide entry points for silverfish to enter homes. Poor sanitation and cluttered spaces can exacerbate silverfish problems by providing abundant food and hiding places.

How do I get rid of a silverfish infestation?

To get rid of a silverfish infestation, start by reducing humidity levels in your home by using dehumidifiers and fixing leaks. Remove starchy materials like paper, glue, and fabrics where silverfish can feed. Seal cracks and gaps in walls, windows, and doors to prevent entry. Use insecticides and traps in high-activity areas to target silverfish. Regularly clean and vacuum infested areas, especially basements, bathrooms, and attics. Ensure proper ventilation to reduce moisture levels. Store items like books and clothing in airtight containers to prevent silverfish access. If the infestation is severe or persistent, contact Aptive for a tailored pest management plan that includes comprehensive inspection, targeted treatments, and preventive measures to keep silverfish under control. Ongoing monitoring and proactive measures can help prevent future silverfish infestations.
