Effective Silverfish Control Services in Austin, TX

Silverfish are one of the oldest species of insects, also known as bristletails because of their three bristle-like appendages or tails.

They prefer damp, warm, dark spaces. They hide in undisturbed areas, like inside storage boxes, under piles of loose paper or fabric materials, in the back of closets, and behind baseboards.

They may get a ride indoors when you bring them in with something else. Silverfish also come in the house through exterior cracks, gaps, and crevices, often around doors and windows.

Austin homeowners find them in crawl spaces, attics, garages, sheds, kitchens, and bathrooms.

All it takes is one male and one female to create an infestation.

A single female can lay up to 3 eggs a day (almost 1,000 eggs a year).

The nymphs hatch in dark hiding spots around your home and start breeding at 3 months old.

The breeding cycle is why they are so difficult to exterminate. You need to find all the adults, the babies, and the eggs (wherever they may hide throughout your property).

A single pest control treatment won’t be enough, and retail consumer products are not effective.
