Prevent It

Keep silverfish out before they snack.

Silverfish love paper, books, and clothing—and once they’re in, they don’t stop. We block their entry points and cut off the damp hiding spots they depend on. With every visit, protection builds stronger so your home and belongings stay safe.

Fall is here. We're ready.

As the leaves start to fall, pests start planning their move indoors. From spiders and roaches to sneaky rodents, cooler temps bring all the wrong kind of houseguests. That’s why fall protection matters — and why our Breezy Pros are already one step ahead. We know the patterns, the hideouts, and how to keep your home feeling just the way it should: pest-free and easy.

Signs you've got silverfish.

Paper and fabric damage

Tiny chew marks on books, wallpaper, clothing, or stored items.

Yellow stains

Yellowish marks on paper, walls, or fabric from their droppings.

Shed skins

Finding translucent, shell-like skins left behind as they grow.

Food damage

Gnawed cereal boxes or torn food packaging in pantries or cabinets.

Helpful tips.

1. Seal entry points

Caulk cracks and gaps around windows, doors, and baseboards—silverfish slip through tiny spaces.

2. Clean regularly

Vacuum dark corners, closets, and storage spots to remove food crumbs and hiding areas.

3. Store food properly

Use airtight containers for pantry items and pet food to block silverfish from starchy snacks.

4. Fix water leaks

Repair drips and leaky pipes. Damp areas create the moisture silverfish need to thrive.

5. Reduce clutter

Stacks of paper, cardboard, or fabric are silverfish favorites. Keep storage neat and dry.

6. Control humidity

Run dehumidifiers or fans in bathrooms, kitchens, and basements to dry out silverfish hotspots.
