Silverfish Extermination Service

Serving Temecula, Wildomar, Menifee, Murrieta, & Lake Elsinore

Silverfish feed on a variety of materials, including human foods, fabrics, paper products and glue in books or wallpaper.  They are generally found outdoors, in wood piles. They are commonly found in warm climates above 90 degrees. 

What Do Silverfish Look Like?

Silverfish are most easily identified by their unique color. Their bodies have a light grey or blueish color that has a silver, almost pearlescent appearance as they move across the floor. They have a long, lean, flat body that ranges from a ½ inch to 1 inch long.

Where Do Silverfish Come From?

Silverfish come from the outside of your house or they can be brought into your home through boxes or other containers that have been stored in an infested area. 

Silverfish like warm, moist places so they primarily live inside your walls, but are most often spotted in bathrooms or attics when they come out in search of food and water. Silverfish are active all year long and are nocturnal, so they are more likely to be seen at night.

How Do Silverfish Get in Your House?

They are small scaly insects, they are flattened from top to bottom, and are able to gain entry into structures through tiny cracks. 

How Do You Know if You Have Silverfish in Your Home? 

Evidence that you may have silverfish in your home or office will be black fecal matter that often times looks like pepper. This fecal matter will be left anywhere silverfish are present. 

Other evidence of the presence of silverfish will be damage they make in wood and other materials. You will see the holes they make using their mouth parts.
