Since silverfish like to hide in dark, protected places and are able to reproduce very quickly, getting rid of them is no easy task. Silverfish are also nocturnal, which means that an infestation may go unnoticed for a long period of time. By the time you begin to detect cast skins, tiny pepper-like feces, or feeding damage, the infestation will already be well established. While most DIY extermination attempts often lead to failure, causing repeated attempts, hiring a Surrey pest control professional to take care of the extermination process will help ensure that the job is done right the first time around.

Silverfish extermination is a combination of preventative measures and using the right type of chemicals to kill the infestation. While homeowners try to use DIY methods for exterminating silverfish, a lot of store bought products can leave a visible residue that might not be safe for people or animals. The safest way to remove silverfish is to hire a Surrey pest control professional to take care of the problem, as they will know the best way to eliminate the infestation without causing harm to people or animals.

Since water is the key element for silverfish survival, it is important to take preventative measures, such as investing in dehumidifiers and fans, to reduce the humidity in your Surrey home or office. Maintaining high levels of sanitation by regularly sweeping, mopping, and vacuuming can also help prevent a silverfish infestation.
