Silverfish

These are teardrop shaped insects that can measure up to 12-19mm in length. They vary in color from white, to brownish-gray or blueish-silver. The average life cycle of silverfish is about three to four months. Eggs hatch after 19 days. The female will lay 1-3 eggs per day in clusters of 2-20. They can reproduce year-round.

Silverfish eat mostly sugars and starches and they love shampoo and cellulose. They are also known to eat other dead insects as well as linen and silk.

People usually find silverfish on the floor, in a sink or bathtub. Their feeding damage on paper can also indicate their presence, along with their tiny pepper like feces.

Silverfish are known for their destruction, oftentimes ruining papers, clothing and wallpaper. They usually infest dark, damp areas around paper and linen sources. Silverfish are usually found in kitchens, laundry rooms, bathrooms, attics and basements.

Many home remedies and store products may kill a few silverfish, but will not completely eliminate the infestation. For that you need a professional, call Hart’s Exterminiation.

Testimonials
  • “I accepted some moving boxes from a friend and accidentally brought in a roach infestation. Apparently roaches live off of the glue in cardboard boxes so beware of those bearing moving supplies.

    Kimmie T. – Tustin, CA
  • “A big thank you to Mark for exterminating the ants who felt that our home was their home. We used to have an ant here and there but after having to redo the flooring in the kitchen due to a flood, we started seeing more and more of them.

    S.M. N. – Manhattan, NY
  • “Mark came out at our arranged time and treated the areas locally for a fraction of the price that the other company wanted for tenting.

    Amanda L – Laguna Hills, CA
  • “I had rats in my attic. They were keeping me up at night! I called and talked to Mark. I’m a single woman, home owner and I’ve been over-charged too often by home service companies.

    Debbie R. – Hendersonville, TN
  • “Thing is, my friend is P-S-Y-C-H-O-T-I-C about cockroaches. I mean, she went so bloody hysterical while he was adding the last slice of salami to his sandwich that I thought the neighbors were going to call the cops.

    Jesseca S. – Santa Monica, CA
  • “We live in Oceanside, a little in the boonies and have Coyotes, and raccoon and possum’s, rabbits, moles and squirrels all over our property bringing in fleas and we fight a losing battle every summer

    Pat C. – Oceanside, CA
