Silverfish

How to Identify Silverfish

Silverfish are a common pest in Northern Virginia, D.C. Metro, and Maryland. Besides their silver-gray color, they closely resemble house centipedes and have six long legs, two long antennae, and three protrusions from the back of their body. These pests move quickly and can be challenging to eliminate from your home.

Other signs of a silverfish infestation include yellow staining on the walls, holes in wallpaper, boxes, and clothing, and tiny silver scales. If you suspect silverfish are in your home, a professional pest control team can help.

				Kayla with client intake is SUPERB! She is professional, kind, and courteous. She gave an informative breakdown of pricing and services. You can tell that she really cares about any pest problem you might have and wants to help. While I haven't had the technician on site (scheduled for 1/2), I am incredibly confident that I won't be disappointed. Will write a separate review regarding the technicians visit next week.
