Pest Control for Silverfish: How it Works

  • Inspect & Identify Moisture Hotspots

    Your technician starts with a thorough exterior and interior inspection for signs of a silverfish infestation, map entry points, and note humidity or clutter that encourages activity. These findings help us tailor your silverfish pest control plan.

  • Perimeter Barrier & Foundation Service

    We apply a residual perimeter spray around foundations, door thresholds, window sills, utility penetrations, and light fixtures. This defense reduces incoming pests and supports ongoing silverfish control.

  • Crack, Crevice & Interior Spot Treatments (As Needed)

    When indoor evidence is found, targeted silverfish treatment includes dusting wall voids, treating baseboards, and focusing on cabinetry, closets, and storage areas where paper, fabrics, and adhesives attract silverfish.

  • Exclusion, Habitat Tips & Warranty Support

    We seal minor gaps, recommend dehumidification and storage tweaks, and outline practical silverfish prevention steps. You’ll also receive our service warranty: if activity returns between visits, we’ll come back at no extra charge to keep progress on track.

Please note: Our seasonal Outdoor Package for mosquitoes and ticks is a separate add-on service to our regular General Pest Control (GPC) plan. The Outdoor Package has seasonal limitations in certain states, depending on the date. Check with your local Hawx branch for more information.

What to Expect with Silverfish Treatments

From the moment you schedule service, we make the process simple and transparent. Here’s what you can plan for:

  1. First, we confirm your appointment and share a quick prep checklist—clear floor edges, lift items off closet floors, and ensure access to bathrooms, basements, and utility rooms.

2. On arrival, your technician performs a detailed inspection, explains where silverfish thrive, and outlines the plan. We treat the exterior perimeter, then address interior hot spots only if needed for precise, lasting silverfish control

3. Before leaving, we review what was done, set expectations for results, and provide a digital report with photos and easy prevention tips—like reducing humidity and storing paper goods in sealed bins. 

Hawx specialists use innovative tools, moisture-aware strategies, precise crack-and-crevice applications, and smart habitat adjustments to stop silverfish activity immediately and reduce future problems. We tailor every plan to your home’s layout and humidity levels for lasting results. Request a free estimate today and take back your space from these pesky, damaging pests.

FAQs

How much does professional silverfish treatment cost?

Silverfish are covered under our General Pest Control (GPC) plan. During the first visit, we assess activity levels, moisture conditions, and property size, then provide a clear, customized estimate so you know exactly what to expect.

Yes. Our trained technicians use targeted products, crack-and-crevice applications, and moisture-reduction guidance to eliminate active silverfish and help prevent future infestations.

Success starts with inspection and moisture management. We combine perimeter protection, precise interior spot treatments (where needed), sealing small entry points, and simple habitat adjustments to reduce humidity and protect paper, fabric, and stored goods.

Silverfish are included in our subscription-based GPC service with seasonal visits for prevention and control. 

Dan Baldwin, Entomologist

“Silverfish aren’t dangerous, but they’re relentless—drawn to moisture and anything starchy like paper, books, and fabric glue. 

If you’re spotting them in bathrooms, closets, or basements, you likely have a humidity problem feeding the activity. Reduce the moisture level in your home and call Hawx immediately. Our targeted treatments and habitat fixes stop silverfish now and protect your home and belongings.”
