Silverfish

Silverfish Control in Missouri City

Silverfish are a humidity problem as much as a pest problem, which is why Gulf Coast homes see so many of them.

Finding those little silver bugs in the tub, the closet or your storage boxes? Silverfish love damp, dark spots, and Gulf Coast homes give them plenty. They chew on paper, cardboard and stored clothes. We treat where they hide and breed, not just the one you spotted on the bathroom floor.

Why the Gulf Coast is silverfish country

Silverfish need moisture and dark, undisturbed spaces, and the humid upper Texas coast supplies both. They feed on starchy material: paper, cardboard, book bindings, wallpaper paste, dry goods and stored clothing. You find them in the tub, the closet, the attic and cardboard boxes that have sat a while.

Treat where they live

We target the harborage points and the humid zones where silverfish shelter and breed, rather than only the ones you spotted on the bathroom floor. Reducing the damp, dark harborage is part of keeping them down.

Questions

Silverfish questions

Why do I keep finding silverfish in the bathroom and closet?
Those are the humid, dark, undisturbed spots silverfish prefer, and the Gulf Coast climate keeps them damp. Treating the harborage and lowering the moisture in those areas is what brings the numbers down.
Do silverfish damage anything?
They feed on paper, cardboard, book bindings, wallpaper paste and stored fabric, so they can damage documents, photos and boxed clothing over time. Stored items in a damp garage or attic are the usual casualties.
