Silverfish Pest Control Santa Barbara CA
Silverfish are wingless, flattened, fish-shaped insects. They are white to brown-gray or bluish-silver in color. They usually measure less than 1.5 inches. They have long antennae and three threadlike appendages on the rear of the abdomen. They have chewing mouthparts and develop without visible change in appearance.
Why Do I Have Silverfish?
Silverfish enter homes in a variety of ways including construction, food packaging, and others. They eat a wide variety of foods containing starches and carbohydrates such as rolled oats, dried beef, flour, starch, paper, cotton, some synthetic fibers, sugar, beef extract, dead insects, glue, paste and linen. Silverfish can thrive in dark humid environments such as attics, bathrooms, and kitchen cabinets but they can survive in almost any area of the house. It is important to stop silverfish before they do considerable damage to books or linens in the house. Silverfish are difficult to control as they move quickly.
