Silverfish Extermination Surrey, BC
Silverfish Control in Surrey & Lower Mainland
Silverfish are common household pests that thrive in damp, dark environments. While they don’t bite or transmit disease, they can cause damage to paper, clothing, food, and other belongings if left untreated. Professional silverfish control can help protect your home and belongings efficiently and safely.
What Are Silverfish?
Silverfish are small, wingless insects with a silvery-grey appearance and fish-like movement. They are nocturnal and hide during the day in damp, dark areas.
They are attracted to:
Humidity and moisture
Paper and cardboard
Book bindings and wallpaper glue
Cotton, linen, and certain fabrics
Pantry items like flour and cereals
Because they prefer hidden spaces, infestations can grow unnoticed for months.
Signs of a Silverfish Infestation
You may have silverfish in your home if you notice:
Small silver insects moving quickly when lights turn on
Yellow stains or irregular holes in paper and fabrics
Damage to books, wallpaper, cardboard boxes
Tiny black pepper-like droppings
Shed skins in damp areas
Even occasional sightings can indicate a larger hidden population.
