Silverfish & Earwig Control in Central Florida

Silverfish and earwigs are moisture-driven pests โ€” Florida’s humidity plus interior microclimates (under sinks, behind toilets, in stored boxes) gives them everything they need. They feed on starches, glue, paper, and fabric. We address moisture sources, not just symptoms.

Why Spray-Only Treatment Doesn't Stick

You spray, the silverfish disappear, two weeks later they’re back. That’s the standard pattern because surface treatment doesn’t address what’s drawing them in:

  • Moisture is the driver. Leaking pipes, condensation on cold-water lines, poor bathroom ventilation, water-damaged drywall. Without addressing the moisture source, you’re fighting a continuous resupply.
  • They live in cracks, not on surfaces. Silverfish hide in baseboards, behind switch plates, in ceiling/wall junctions. Spray on the floor or counter doesn’t reach them.
  • Stored boxes and old paper are food. Garage and attic clutter โ€” especially cardboard, books, photo albums โ€” sustains the population indefinitely.

Our approach: moisture audit (find leaks, condensation, ventilation issues), perimeter and crack treatment with residual, exclusion (seal entry points), and dehumidification recommendations where appropriate. Storage cleanup recommendations to remove food sources.

Our Approach

  1. Moisture audit. Identify leaks, condensation, poor ventilation.
  2. Perimeter and crack treatment. Residual along baseboards, under sinks, in storage areas.
  3. Exclusion. Seal entry points; recommend dehumidification where appropriate.

Why Sprays Alone Don't Work

Surface spraying without addressing the moisture and harborage produces a brief knockdown then they’re back. We solve the conditions, not just the symptoms.

What Customers Say

Real reviews from Central Florida homeowners we’ve helped.

Heard scratching above our bedroom for two weeks. Two other companies wanted to spray pesticide and call it done. Central Florida Trapper actually went into the attic, found the roof rat entry, sealed it, and replaced the contaminated insulation.

A raccoon tore through our soffit and was raising kits. They located the babies, reunited them with mom outside, sealed everything, cleaned the attic. Done in three days. Insurance paid most because the paperwork was so thorough.

Same-day for a snake on our pool deck. Turned out to be a non-venomous black racer, but they explained the difference, removed it safely, and didn’t charge us a panic fee. Will absolutely call again.

Yes โ€” when applied per label and dry (usually 2โ€“4 hours after treatment). We use products approved for residential use and explain re-entry intervals before treatment.

Depends on the pest. Cockroach gel bait shows results in 5โ€“10 days. Mosquito barrier is immediate. Ant baits take 7โ€“14 days to eliminate the colony. We follow up to confirm.

Both. One-time treatments for active issues, and scheduled programs (monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly) for prevention. We don’t lock you into multi-year contracts.

We re-treat at no charge if the same pest returns within the warranty period. Specifics depend on the pest and treatment โ€” we put it in writing on the invoice.
