Silverfish Exterminators
The Silverfish is dark silver in color and approximately a 1/2 inch in length. Its long, lean body is broader in the front and narrows toward the rear which contributes to its fish-like appearance and movement. Silverfish feed on a variety of materials, many of which can be found in your home. They are attracted to carbohydrates, starches and sugars which can be found not only in your kitchen but in the glues on stamps, envelopes and even book bindings.

Do You Need Silverfish Removal Services?
Silverfish are not directly harmful to humans, but they can definitely cause their fair share of damage in your home. Silverfish are attracted to the glue in book bindings, wall paper and other paper goods. They are notorious for chewing holes in fabrics and paper to get to the paste, leaving yellowish stains along the way.
Eliminate 'Em Pest Control Services provides you with fast, professional, courteous service and licensed technicians to handle all of your pest control, wildlife and inspection needs. Eliminate 'Em Pest Control Services offers same-day services and free estimates to eliminate silverfish. Professional technicians are available to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to get rid of any insects (like silverfish!), rodents or wildlife that are causing damage or creating a nuisance in and around your home.

Myrna L Leiper
Josh was at the Elm Meadows Condo helping my neighbor with a fly infestation in her home. I explained my situation with very aggressive bees in the front porch and without hesitation he took care of the problem. He didn’t make excuses that I wasn’t on the schedule, he saw my situation and proceeded to help me. That’s is an act of kindness and I’m so grateful. 🙏🏼

Second time using Eliminate Em. Each time I’ve called, I’ve had someone out within a few hours. Very responsive company and I appreciate that. The previous guy who removed a bald faced hornets nest was great, believe his name was John. Ed who was my guy today was personable and up front on the process. I will continue to use this company for any pest issues I have at my home and my rental. Thank you Ed.
