San Antonio Silverfish Control

Serving Home & Business Owners Since 1948

Silverfish are small, wingless insects that are up to an inch in length. As their name would suggest, they are distinguished by a silver color and have two antennae on their head. With their quick movement, they move rapidly along surfaces. They attract other insects, so when they’re spotted it’s important to take fast action and address a potential infestation.

The Signs of a Silverfish Infestation 

Beyond the most obvious sign—the actual sighting of a silverfish—there are four other telltale indicators that should alert a property owner to at least the possibility of infestation. 

Damage to books, papers, and fabrics: Silverfish are known for their diet of starchy materials, such as paper, glue, and fabric. If that book you’ve been reading has mysterious damage, a silverfish could be the culprit. 

Yellow stains: Silverfish leave behind yellow stains on surfaces where they have been present. These stains are caused by their excrement and might be found on wallpaper, in addition to the books, papers, and fabrics noted above. 

Shed skins: These shed skins can be found in damp, humid areas where silverfish are likely to congregate. 

Musty odor: In severe cases, a musty odor may be present in areas where silverfish are present. This odor is caused by the excrement and body oils of the insects and can be a clear indicator of an infestation.
