Take Back Your Home & Yard From Pesky Silverfish

Silverfish are one of the most common pests around Idaho. While they don’t typically bite or sting, they can be a nuisance. Here are some of the problems silverfish bring to Boise area homes.

  • Damage to Personal Items: Silverfish can eat through many materials, including paper, clothing, upholstery, and stored food. They can also eat glue from wallpaper, book bindings, carpets, curtains, and furniture coverings. Signs of damage include holes, etchings, notches, and yellow stains.
  • Contaminated Food: Silverfish can leave droppings in food containers, contaminating the food. If you see silverfish in or near food, you should throw it away.
  • Allergies: While they don’t spread diseases, silverfish can trigger allergies in some people.

  • Silverfish in Boise, ID

    Silverfish can be found just about anywhere. They thrive inside and outside — in cold environments and hot ones. And they are located in nearly every corner of the planet, including Idaho. 

    There are only four species of silverfish found in the United States. Just two are found in Idaho. They are:

    • Gray silverfish. Gray silverfish are known for their silvery-gray color and prefer dark, damp areas like basements, bathrooms, and kitchens.
    • Firebrat. Although less common than the gray silverfish, firebrats can also be found in Idaho. They are similar in appearance to silverfish but have a mottled gray-brown coloration and prefer warmer, drier environments compared to silverfish.

    You can find silverfish in your kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, yard, or even in the walls of your home. Our team of Boise-based pest technicians are experts in silverfish control. We know where silverfish like to hide and how to get rid of them quickly. If you are experiencing silverfish problems or if you want to avoid silverfish from invading your property, give Pestcom a call.

  • How do I get rid of Boxelder Bugs?
    Boxelder bugs seem to invade every home in the fall. This is because they are trying to escape the cold and cling to the last couple of months they have left. So, to keep them out of your home you are going to need to block entraces. That means repairing screen doors and sealing up cracks in your foundation.
  • Why do I need a pest service in the winter?
    A lot of people think that bugs and other pests die during the winter but this isn't true. Pests act like snowbirds that drive down to St. George, Utah, or Pheonix, Arizona in the winter — they hate the cold. But instead of traveling thousands of miles, they travel into your walls. If an infestation is left all winter, it can create a huge problem in spring once the weather starts to warm up.
  • How do I know if I have bed bugs?
    The easiest way to determine if you have bed bugs or not is to give us a call and request an inspection. But, if you are looking to check on your own, then you are going to want to remove all of the sheets from your beds. Once this is done, you can take a look at the seams in your mattress. Bed bugs often leave droppings behind and they'll get caught in the seams.
