Silverfish & Earwig Control
Treatment for silverfish and earwigs drawn to the humid, damp conditions common in Southwest Florida homes.
Silverfish and earwigs are both drawn to moisture, and Southwest Florida's humidity gives them plenty of opportunity to find their way indoors. Silverfish feed on paper, glue, and starchy materials and are often found in basements, bathrooms, and storage areas, while earwigs prefer damp mulch, leaf litter, and other organic debris before wandering inside through small gaps. Neither poses a direct danger to people, but large numbers indoors are a sign of excess moisture that's worth addressing alongside treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are silverfish or earwigs dangerous?
No, neither bites or stings people, but they can damage paper, fabric, and stored items, and their presence often signals a moisture problem worth addressing.
Why do I keep finding them in my bathroom?
Both pests are drawn to humidity and moisture, and bathrooms tend to have the dampest conditions in the house, making them a common gathering spot.
How can I keep them from coming back?
Reducing moisture — fixing leaks, running a dehumidifier or exhaust fan, and clearing damp debris from around your home's foundation — goes a long way alongside regular treatment.
