Silverfish control for Magnolia's older homes, where basements, crawl spaces, and aging plumbing hold onto moisture.
Call (844) 924-1337Magnolia's biggest wave of home construction traces back to January 1938, when the Barnett No. 1 well blew in south of town and turned the surrounding Magnolia Oil Field into the largest producing oil field by volume in the entire country during the early years of World War II. Plenty of houses from that boom era are still standing, many with the unfinished crawl spaces and aging plumbing that, combined with south Arkansas's humid climate keeping indoor moisture high most of the year, create exactly the damp, undisturbed spot silverfish look for.
Rather than crumbs or pantry food, this pest goes after starches in wallpaper paste, book bindings, and stored paper, so the first clue in a Magnolia home is usually chewed up boxes or papers in a closet or crawl space, not anything near the kitchen. Checking those older storage areas and any slow plumbing leaks is typically the quickest way to confirm what's going on.

Treatments used by professional providers are generally effective against silverfish when applied to the areas they actually frequent. Ask your provider what method they use and what results to expect.
