Frequently Asked Questions
What do silverfish eat?
Silverfish consume starches and carbohydrates including paper, book bindings, wallpaper paste, clothing starch, and cellulose. They'll also eat dried foods, dead insects, and even glue. They can survive months without food in humid conditions.
How long does it take to eliminate silverfish?
Silverfish reproduce slowly compared to other pests, but established populations require persistent treatment. With proper moisture control and treatment, significant reduction occurs within 2-4 weeks. Complete elimination may take 2-3 months for severe infestations.
Are your silverfish treatments safe for Clarendon farms?
Yes. We use botanical and natural methods that are safe around livestock, crops, and stored feed. Our IPM approach protects Clarendon's agricultural operations while eliminating pest problems.
