Silverfish control for San Bernardino, a more occasional call inland than in California's foggy coastal cities, but not absent from the city's older buildings.
Call (844) 924-1337The steady humidity that keeps silverfish populations going in coastal California doesn't extend to San Bernardino's inland setting. What does work in the pest's favor here is age: several buildings downtown date back to not long after the city's 1854 incorporation, and construction from that period commonly included basements or raised foundations that hold onto moisture more than anything built since.
Since silverfish feed on starches like book bindings, wallpaper paste, and stored paper rather than food, a problem in one of those older downtown structures tends to show up first as chewed boxes or damaged files, not anything in a kitchen. In San Bernardino's newer homes, a similar issue can start wherever a sink has been dripping quietly or an exhaust fan stopped doing its job, and locating that one source is usually enough to clear it up.
