In Florida, silverfish are as common as most other pests that we deal with from time to time, like ants and cockroaches. That doesn’t make them any more appealing, however, as they are still pests that can ravage your pantry and ultimately cause grave damage to pictures, paintings, paper products, books and even the wallpaper in your home. Taking proper silverfish prevention measures is necessary to ensure you keep them from entering your home.
They may look different, but just like all other pests, they prey on the same thing: dirty places with little sanitation. By having a bunch of trash — old food, crumbs, spills, paper products (like newspapers or magazines), high moisture areas or leaks— you are basically inviting pests like silverfish into your home.
Unlike some other pests that are somewhat easier to control and eliminate, they differ in that in order to get rid of silverfish, you need a comprehensive solution that attacks them from all areas. Different parts of your home need different treatment options, which is why it’s extremely important to have an expert pest control company take care of the problem for you.
As mentioned above, there is plenty you can do on a daily basis to ensure that a silverfish invasion won’t become a problem for the future. However, once silverfish have infested your home, they have the ability to reproduce up to 20 more silverfish each. The longer you go without letting professionals solve the problem, the more damage they will cause, the more invasive they will become and the more expensive it’s going to be to solve it.

By doing this, you are ensuring that the damage silverfish are causing to your home is minimal if not non-existent, while saving a bunch of money in the process.
