They will hang out inside wall voids but are very commonly found in bathrooms and attics when they come out to forage for food and water. They will eat glue and adhesives in dresser drawers, bookshelves and bookcases, paintings, etc. We recommend our Silverfish Kit for complete control of these pests. -

Read Full Answer »All of our products are safe to use around pets as long as you follow the instructions. The general rule is to keep all pets out of the rooms you are treating while you are performing the treatment. Once the product that you apply is dry, which usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes, it is perfectly safe to allow your pets to re-enter the room. The silverfish packs should be placed in areas where pets cannot access them, such as underneath or behind places of activity. All of these products are made to kill tiny insects, and should pose no threat to the cats unless they get into the containers or boxes themselves which is why you should keep all pesticide containers in a safe place, just as you would with cleaning chemicals or anything else. -

Read Full Answer »Silverfish normally live outdoors under rocks, bark, and leaves. When silverfish are found indoors, they prefer moist places such as basements, bathtubs, laundry rooms, sinks and kitchens. However, they may also be found near food sources including book shelves, behind baseboards and wallpaper, and around window and door frames. We recommend treating your home with our Get Rid of Silverfish Kit. You could treat your drains with Invade Bio Drain. It is not labeled specifically for silverfish but it will break up organic material and eliminate odors. You could also plug the drain openings with sink stoppers during the treatment outside and inside with the kit. Please let us know if you need anything else.
