Silverfish can be quite a challenge to deal with for Dallas homeowners. They easily invade area homes, tend to stay completely out of sight and cause destruction in lots of little ways in unseen areas. Homeowners are often surprised when they move something in the home, only to have a silverfish quickly scurry out from under it and into another hiding place. Further investigation reveals that there is more than one of them, and homeowners get concerned about how bad the infestation is and wonder what they can do about it.
All-Safe Pest & Termite can identify how bad the silverfish infestation is, and they know just what to do about it. Contact us today for all of your Dallas pest control needs.
What Do Silverfish Look Like?
What are silverfish? Silverfish are small, elongated, and armored with scales. The scales themselves look somewhat like the scales on a fish. They have antennae on their heads and what look like antennae toward the back of their bodies. They very much prefer dark hiding places, especially if the hiding places are humid or moist. If exposed to light, they will quickly run for cover. They are surprisingly fast runners for their size.

Silverfish Infestations Can Be A Nuisance In Your Home
Homeowners never have to worry about a silverfish bite because silverfish don’t do that. They do, however, have the ability to cause a significant amount of damage in surprising ways. Silverfish love to nibble on paper goods, and what homeowners consider important papers, silverfish consider a buffet. And, speaking of buffets, silverfish also love the same kinds of food that you like and will readily infest any of your food sources they can access. The longer they are in your home, the more damage they can cause. They are also a very unsettling sight to see when homeowners are surprised by one running across their path.
