Our $350-$550 service includes a thorough inspection of your Fordham property, identification of moisture sources and entry points, targeted treatment of infested areas including baseboards, closets, and bathrooms, application of residual insecticides, and recommendations for preventing future infestations through humidity control and exclusion methods.
How quickly can you eliminate silverfish from my Fordham property?▾
Most Fordham clients see significant reduction in silverfish activity within 1-2 weeks of treatment. Complete elimination typically takes 3-4 weeks as treatments work on eggs and hidden populations.
