Silverfish Control in Claremont, New Hampshire

A free inspection and a written plan are the standard first step.

- Silverfish in the bathroom, basement, and closets — the fast, silvery insects in the damp, dark areas.
- Yellow stains on the paper and the fabric — the stains from their feeding and their droppings.
- Small holes in the books and the wallpaper — chewing damage on the paper and the starch-based materials.
- Shed scales in the corners and the drawers — the silvery scales they leave behind.
- Damage to the stored clothing and the documents — feeding on the natural fibers and the paper.
Why Claremont homes get silverfish

The rocky loam and glacial till holds the moisture the pests need, the forests, lakes, and mountains offers shelter, and the humid continental climate extends the active season. The homes near the the Atlantic, Lake Winnipesaukee, and rivers and the ones on the older streets with mature trees see the heaviest pressure, and the newer construction brings its own set of conditions.

Reduce the humidity, remove the paper clutter, and seal the gaps around the baseboards and the pipes. The treatment plus the moisture correction breaks the cycle.
