High Desert Pest Control
Silverfish Control
Silverfish hide in closets, bookshelves, storage boxes, and bathrooms, feeding on paper, glue, and fabric. They're nocturnal, so an infestation can grow before you notice it.

- Silverfish in tubs, sinks, or closets

How we handle it
We treat the cracks, voids, and storage areas where silverfish breed and feed, and reduce the humidity-friendly conditions they rely on.

How silverfish get inside
- Cardboard boxes from storage units, moves, and online deliveries
- Gaps around attic access panels and recessed lights
- Plumbing penetrations in bathrooms and laundry rooms
- Wall voids — they can migrate across whole houses without being seen
When they're most active
Silverfish don't have a strong seasonal pattern — they're a year-round indoor pest. Numbers tend to grow slowly over many months, so the most common trigger for a call is finally noticing the damage they've done.
What you can do before we get there
A few quick things you can do today that'll make any treatment — ours or your own — work better.
- Run a dehumidifier in closets and bathrooms — silverfish need humidity
- Switch to plastic storage bins instead of cardboard
- Vacuum cracks and corners of closets a few times a year
- Don't store stacks of paper or old books in damp areas
