"Larry and his team have been taking care of both our Cabin and our Home for over 10 years. We previously had a well known national pest control company that treated the symptom of our problems without getting to the cause of them. We had mice (mouse?) issues, the national company brought traps, Larry took the time to figure out where they were getting in and eliminated it. We use Blackhawk’s annual plan for both Home and Cabin, and couldn’t be happier . "

"We had lovely man come to our house to give a 2nd opinion on bats and if they were the cause of what we were hearing. He, like the first company, did not find evidence of bats, but was the only company to not want to charge us for bat remediation. They are coming back for hornet work, but I deeply appreciate their honesty and truthfulness. They will get all our pest control business moving forward. Could not recommend them highly enough."

TruGreen is the nation's largest provider of lawn and landscape services. We make it easy for you by delivering customized care solutions that are effective, innovative and responsible.
"I called a week ago for quotes for a mosquito spray this last Saturday. I had two other companies lined up to come and spray our yard, but cancelled as truegreen was cheaper. I never heard back by Thursday on when they would be out. Got in touch with them again and they said it was never possible for them to be here before Saturday. By that time I couldn’t get any company out and me and my guests were eaten alive by mosquitoes. I now hear they will be here tomorrow, at this point I am extremely upset and will never schedule service with them again."

Professional pest technicians look for several key indicators during an inspection, including silverfish droppings (which resemble black pepper), yellowing stains, shed exoskeletons, and damage patterns on paper, cardboard, or fabric items. They pay special attention to dark, humid areas, such as bathrooms, basements, and attics, where silverfish are commonly found to hide. Technicians may use specialized tools to check behind baseboards, inside wall voids, and under fixtures where these nocturnal insects often remain hidden during daylight hours.
Modern silverfish treatments have good safety profiles when applied correctly by licensed professionals. Many companies now offer reduced-risk formulations designed specifically for sensitive environments. Your pest control provider should provide clear safety instructions, including recommended waiting periods before re-entering treated areas. Always discuss any household-specific concerns, such as allergies, respiratory conditions, or pregnancy, with your technician before treatment begins.
The timeframe for complete silverfish elimination varies depending on several factors, including the size of the infestation and the treatment approach. Most treatments begin showing results within days, but full control requires addressing both adult insects and their eggs. Environmental factors, such as humidity levels and access to food sources, also influence the effectiveness of treatments. Your pest management professional should provide realistic expectations based on your specific situation.
Standard homeowners' insurance policies often do not cover pest control services, including silverfish extermination, as these are considered preventable maintenance issues rather than sudden, accidental damage. Insurance providers view pest management as a routine homeowner responsibility. In extremely rare cases where silverfish cause substantial, documented structural damage, some policies may provide limited coverage; however, this is a rare occurrence. Always review your specific policy details or consult with your insurance agent for clarification.
Effective silverfish prevention focuses on creating an inhospitable environment for these moisture-loving pests. Install dehumidifiers in areas prone to dampness to maintain humidity levels below 50%. Eliminate clutter, especially paper goods and cardboard, which provide both food and shelter. Regularly vacuum and clean storage areas, especially those containing books, papers, or textiles. Seal potential entry points around pipes, vents, and utility lines with suitable materials. Consider scheduling periodic professional inspections to detect new activity before it becomes a problem.
