Silverfish are a nuisance and can cause problems in your home. Check out why you don’t want these pests crawling around your house.
1. They Damage Household Items
Silverfish feed on many household items including paper products, glue, and fabric. If you’re dealing with a large infestation, damage can be extensive.
2. They Contaminate Food
These pests also like to snack on your food. If they find their way into your pantry items, they’ll be inedible. Silverfish will eat things like flour, oats, and dried meat.
3. They Leave Behind Stains & Skin
Silverfish can leave behind yellow stains on your belongings, floor, and walls. If they’re molting, you may find their skin or scales too.
4. They Are a Sign of Another Problem
These creepy crawlies need to live in a moist and humid environment. If they’re in your home, it means they’ve found a source of water. While this isn’t their fault, their presence can warn of water damage.
Our Maggie’s Farm insecticide sprays, baits, and dusts can help prevent and control silverfish.
