PestNow brand was founded in Virginia in 1995 as Superior Pest Management when four high school friends came together to form their own company. Today, we have multiple locations in three states, and serve thousands of happy customers. We offer pest control; termite treatments and warranties; mosquito, flea & tick control; WDIs (real estate inspections); lawn fertilization & weed control; TAP insulation; and wildlife solutions for homeowners and businesses in the mid-Atlantic.
"PestNow was hired to inspect our house for termites. This was required by the lender of the family buying our house. PestNow found a pile of wood leaning up against a deck column they said needed repair due to termite damage. PestNow also required the entire house be treated. There were no termites found anywhere other than the pile of wood, according to PestNow. They quoted us for over $800 to treat the house. We questioned the need and amount so they lowered it to $580. As a result of PestNow stating they found termites in the deck column, the lender of the buyers required the deck column be repaired due to termite damage. The deck repair company assessed the deck column agreeing it needed to be repaired, but not due to termites, rather moisture. I question whether PestNow found termites at all. Their unethical tactics cost us well over $1,000. Beware of PestNow."

Century Termite & Pest is a full-service pest/termite control company - we do wildlife trappings and seal up along with repairs.
"Don’t waste your money with this firm. They don’t deliver. About a year ago, I was convinced by a salesman of the company that the scratching noises I was hearing in my house were caused by mice roaming around in the walls of the house. I spent over $12,000 and took on a $150 quarterly maintenance plan to get rid of the mice. The company replaced all insulation in my attic and other areas. Also, the company told me they sealed all holes that the mice might use to enter the house. Over the past year, I have complained repeatedly about the mice still roaming around in my house. Most times, an agent would come to the house, look around the outside and place glue traps in areas inside the house. These are amateurish actions I could undertake myself. Recently, I complained by letter to the owner of Century, Mr. Brett Nunn, about my mice problem. Mr. Nunn did not respond to my letter."

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.
