Earwigs and silverfish are examples of occasional invaders that regularly make their way into our homes. They often call the damp soil near our houses home. During periods of dry weather, heavy rains, or other unsuitable weather conditions, they will move indoors. Occasional invaders seem to pop up unexpectedly; one day, your home is pest-free the next day, home to uninvited pests.
A brief description of the earwig and silverfish are listed below:
Most occasional invaders, including earwigs and silverfish, pose no significant danger to people nor our property. They are nuisance pests that are simply using our homes as a place of shelter. However, just because they aren't a danger doesn't mean we should ignore their presence. Having occasional invaders in your home usually indicates that areas of your home are damp, as most of these insects have high moisture needs. Also, if occasional invaders are finding a way into your home, so will other pests that are likely to be more problematic.
Earwigs and silverfish live outside in damp, dark areas. Often the mulch in flower beds and gardens surrounding our homes are where these pests live. Other places that occasional invaders gather near our homes include the ground under woodpiles, trashcans, and flowerpots.
The occasional invader's proximity to our homes allows them to easily migrate inside whenever they see fit. People can also introduce these pests into their homes on or in things like pieces of firewood, storage boxes, plant pots, and other items that have been outside and are brought back inside.
We guarantee our work. If you see pests, we return at no extra charge.
Earwigs and silverfish are most problematic in areas of our home that are naturally damp and quiet. Poor ventilation, leaky pipes, and damaged weather-stripping around windows and doors will allow moisture to build up in your home and provide a place where occasional invaders can thrive. Some of their favorite hideouts include cabinets, folded towels or clothing, under or in storage boxes, and behind tubs and sinks.
