HOW TO GET RID OF SILVERFISH & FIREBRATS

Getting rid of silverfish and getting rid of firebrats can be successful through cleaning, sanitation, controlling humidity, and preventative maintenance and upkeep.

Here are some tips to help you deal with silverfish and firebrats in your home or business:

  • Routinely vacuum, focusing on baseboards, open vents, and cracks and crevices to remove food particles and possible eggs.
  • Routinely clean and disinfect:
    • Interiors of cupboards, drawers, and pantries
    • Countertops, sinks, bathtubs, and laundry tubs.
    • Under sinks and around the base of tubs.
    • Areas around appliances and machinery - do not forget to get behind them.
    • Baseboards, especially in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, and any other lower level rooms.
  • Regularly inspect faucets and pipes for leaks, and repair them timely.
    • For pipes with too much moisture, insulate, or wrap them.
  • Manage indoor temperature and humidity levels through dehumidifiers, air conditioning units, and fans.
  • Install ventilation in bathrooms and other high humidity area, and maintain them so that they are in good working condition.
  • Seal holes and cracks around windows, doors, and baseboards with high quality caulking.

I want to thank Sarah! She really did a amazing inspection! I had a issue with mice. Sarah cover the inside and outside taking care of holes/gaps above the front and back doors. attics and garage. And has a very caring attitude towards her clients! I have know about Environmental Pest control for many years as they looked after issues with a school board I worked for.

We just had a fall treatment done at our country property. We never hesitate to call this company to protect us from ladybugs, cluster flies and more. You can count on them for punctuality, professionalism and thoroughness. Shout out to Cody who went above and beyond today: on his own accord, he brought our garbage/recycling bins to our garage door from the road and was able to retrieve a helium balloon that had floated up to the top of our cathedral ceiling. We are seniors, so these gestures of kindness were most appreciated. Highly recommend!

I cannot rate this company high enough. I first talked with Thomas on the phone. He was so polite and patient with this 79 year old lady animal advocate. He talked me through everything and I made my choice of the service I desired. I got an appointment the next day. Craig was right on time and he went through everything again and made sure I understood the whole procedure. I feel I got a very fair price for the work done. Do not hesitate to call Environmental Pest Control if you need help with wasps as I did!

I recently had the bait boxes refilled to avoid having mice move into my house as the weather turns colder. Mike and Jake arrived at the appointed time. Both gentlemen were polite, friendly and very professional. When they left, I contacted Kassandra to arrange payment. She was lovely, pleasant and polite, a pleasure to speak with. I have used the services of this company for years and have always been pleased.
