Moisture control is essential since silverfish need high humidity. We apply diatomaceous earth and boric acid in harborage areas. Botanical sprays provide knockdown in active zones. We identify conditions common to farmhouses and customize every treatment to your property's specific needs.

Silverfish questions from Champlain Valley residents
Silverfish don't bite or spread disease but damage paper, books, wallpaper, and starchy fabrics. Infestations grow slowly but can become substantial in humid environments.
Silverfish require humidity above 75% to thrive. Bathrooms, basements, and laundry rooms provide ideal conditions. Reducing moisture eliminates their habitat.
We address humidity issues, apply diatomaceous earth in harborage areas, and use boric acid dust in wall voids. These mineral-based products provide lasting control.
Silverfish stay near moisture and food sources. They're most common in bathrooms, basements, and areas with stored paper. Humidity control confines and eliminates populations.
