Professional Silverfish & Firebrat Control in Vancouver
Understanding the Challenge of Silverfish Infestations

Silverfish Control Vancouver is essential in a city like ours, where the sleek downtown condos, heritage homes in Mount Pleasant, and the damp, leafy surroundings near Queen Elizabeth Park create the perfect conditions for these pests. Silverfish thrive in dark, humid environments and often remain hidden until they’ve already damaged books, papers, clothing, and pantry items.
Whether you’re living in a character home off Commercial Drive, managing a heritage property near Gastown, or operating a boutique hotel in Yaletown, silverfish can become an unwelcome nuisance. Their affinity for moisture makes basements, bathrooms, and even crawlspaces under Kitsilano bungalows ideal habitats.
At 1st Pest Control, we specialize in targeted silverfish control services across Vancouver, BC. Our team uses environmentally responsible techniques to identify nesting areas, eliminate infestations, and implement moisture control solutions to help keep your space pest-free long-term. From apartments near False Creek to educational facilities around UBC’s satellite campuses downtown, we tailor our approach to suit the architecture and specific conditions of your property.

Home Preparation for Pest Treatment
Before a technician is dispatched for your silverfish treatment, we’ll email you a detailed prep sheet outlining everything you need to do to get your home ready. Our highly-effective treatment works best when the space is properly prepped. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact our office at 1-844-737-8226 or by email at info@1stpestcontrol.ca
Immediate Start of Treatment
Once your home is prepped, a technician will begin treatment right away. Our approach is designed to be minimally disruptive while effectively reducing silverfish populations and helping you maintain a more comfortable, pest-free environment.
When DIY Silverfish Control Methods Fall Short

DIY silverfish control methods, such as store-bought sprays or homemade repellents, may offer temporary relief, but they often don’t address the underlying cause of the infestation. Silverfish are persistent and can nest in hidden areas, making it difficult to fully eliminate them with basic solutions.
If these insects continue to appear despite your efforts, professional pest control services can help address the infestation more effectively and provide ongoing solutions to reduce the risk of future problems.
