Are Silverfish Harmful?

Fortunately, the silverfish bugs do not spread diseases among humans or bite. However, they definitely make holes in your clothing and various other textiles. It is obvious that you are not going to like your brand new dresses with holes that have been made by the silverfish bugs.

How To Prevent Silverfish Infestations

Hit ‘Em’ Hard Pest Management Solutions suggests that in order to prevent the infestation of the silverfish bugs, you have to get rid of the sources of moisture in the places like the faulty plumbing areas.

• Eliminating standing water.
• Running air conditioners.
• Considering bathroom fans in shower areas.
