Silverfish & Madagascar (ugliest dinosaurs)
How do we get rid of the ugliest insect – silverfish? Here are some common approaches Go Green Pest Control will do for silverfish:
- Inspection: We will conduct a thorough inspection to identify the extent of the silverfish infestation and locate their hiding places. Silverfish tend to prefer dark and damp areas such as basements, attics, bathrooms, and kitchens.
- Insecticides: We use insecticides specifically designed to target silverfish. These products are usually applied as sprays or dusts in areas where silverfish are present or likely to hide. It’s important to follow the instructions provided by the pest control professional and take any necessary precautions to ensure safety.
- Dusts and Baits: Dusts and baits can be effective in controlling silverfish. These products are applied in areas where silverfish are active, such as cracks, crevices, and other hiding spots. Silverfish will come into contact with the dust or bait, ingest it, and carry it back to their nests, thereby spreading the control agent to other silverfish.
- Exclusion and Prevention: We may also provide recommendations for preventing future silverfish infestations. This may involve sealing cracks and gaps in walls, floors, and around pipes, as silverfish can enter through tiny openings. Addressing moisture issues and reducing humidity levels in affected areas will multiple dehumidifiers can also help discourage silverfish from thriving.
- Education: We may educate homeowners or residents about silverfish habits, biology, and prevention methods. This knowledge can help individuals take proactive steps to minimize conditions that attract silverfish and reduce the risk of reinfestation.
