Mr. Saeed is a gentleman and an honest person; I love dealing with him. He has serviced our property for ants, spiders and rodents and it's been very effective. I have been a repeat customer, and I have referred him to many of my family and friends, and they are all very satisfied.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I highly recommend Total Care Pest Control. We have been using their services for the last 3–4 years, and their service has always been excellent.

They are very reliable and can also accommodate urgent jobs. They are flexible with timing and will schedule the service according to your availability, including early-morning appointments. I have used them for both rat and cockroach problems, especially German cockroaches.

What really impressed me was their pricing. Other companies were quoting around $1,600 for the job, while Total Care Pest Control provided the same service at a very reasonable price. They are professional, cooperative, and genuinely care about helping their customers.

If you need pest control for your home or restaurant, I would definitely recommend Total Care Pest Control. Great service, reasonable prices, and very reliable!

Thank you, Total Care Pest Control! 🙏

Understanding Silverfish

Silverfish (Lepisma saccharinum) are nocturnal, wingless insects with a metallic silver sheen and fast, fish-like movements. Dating back over 400 million years, they are one of the most ancient pest species still thriving in today's homes.

Key Features:

  • Size: 10–15 mm long with long antennae and bristled tails
  • Colour: Silvery grey with fine scales
  • Lifespan: Up to 3–8 years with regular moulting
  • Diet: Polysaccharides — starch, glue, sugar, cellulose, fabrics, and paper
  • Preferred environment: Dark, humid, undisturbed places (ideal RH > 75%)

Signs You May Have a Silverfish Infestation

  • 📄 Yellow stains or holes in documents and wallpaper
  • 📦 Damage to cardboard, books, old photos, and fabric
  • 🐟 Silvery droppings resembling pepper or dust
  • ⚫ Live sightings in bathrooms, under sinks, or storage boxes
  • 📉 Paper curling, glue loosening, and loose pages
They may be quiet, but their presence often points to hidden damage or long-standing moisture problems.
