Bug
Silverfish silently invade homes, feeding on paper, fabrics, and pantry items while remaining hidden in dark, humid spaces. In Columbus, they’re commonly found in basements, bathrooms, and attics – especially in older homes with moisture issues. We pinpoint silverfish activity and apply safe, targeted treatments to eliminate infestations and protect your belongings.
Reproduction & Lifespan: Silverfish reproduce quickly, laying eggs in cracks and crevices where they remain undisturbed. Nymphs mature in weeks and can live up to three years, feeding continuously on starches, adhesives, and organic fibers. Because infestations often go unnoticed until damage appears, early detection and moisture control are essential to long-term prevention.
Silverfish enter homes through small cracks, gaps around pipes, and poorly sealed vents – especially during humid weather. In Columbus, they’re commonly found in moisture-prone areas like bathrooms, basements, laundry rooms, and attics. These nocturnal pests hide in cardboard boxes, old books, and behind wallpaper, feeding on starches and adhesives. Because they reproduce quickly and stay hidden, infestations can grow unnoticed, making early detection and humidity control essential for prevention.
