See all offersSigns of crawling pests indoors
Homeowners often spot small insects near moisture or in quiet dark corners. These observations suggest activity, but our technician confirms the specific pest during a physical inspection.
Insects with rear pincers
Earwigs have pincers on their abdomen and gather in damp areas near sinks, tubs, and exterior doorways.
Silvery scales and cracks
Silverfish are wingless pests with silvery scales that hide inside cracks during the day and thrive in humid indoor spots.
Pincers and damp hiding spots
Centipedes have flattened bodies and move rapidly across baseboards, coming indoors from exterior soil occasionally.
Pill bugs in damp mulch
Pill bugs live in moist outdoor places like rocks, leaf litter, and mulch, sometimes wandering indoors without causing damage.
Earwigs turning up near sinks
Active at night, earwigs require damp shelter outdoors and often turn up indoors around sinks, showers, and other moist areas.
Activity near plumbing fixtures
Earwigs turn up near kitchen sinks, bathroom showers, or laundry drains where indoor humidity stays relatively high.
Why occasional invaders enter homes
Silverfish feed on starches like paper, glue, and paste, while earwigs and centipedes enter homes from damp outdoor shelter. Pill bugs feed on decaying plant matter under rocks and wander indoors without damaging structures.
These pests are covered by our Quarterly Home Pest Plan perimeter and interior treatments. Because moisture attracts them, fixing leaks and sealing exterior gaps helps limit activity.
How we inspect for crawling pests
Our technician checks perimeter areas and interior rooms to identify what insects are present and locate entry paths around your foundation.
Treating silverfish, earwigs, and centipedes
We use targeted exterior foundation applications and localized interior treatments to address pest locations identified during inspection.
Crawling insects in the valley
In the Las Vegas valley, silverfish, earwigs, centipedes, and pill bugs seek damp shelter outdoors under gravel, woodpiles, and leaf litter. Indoors, high humidity around bathrooms and laundries gives silverfish and earwigs the moisture they need to survive.
Targeted treatments combined with sealing gaps and correcting water leaks keep these crawling pests from finding damp harborages around your foundation.
Preparation and what to expect
Following simple setup steps helps our technician access key exterior and interior treatment areas.
Review written instructions
You receive written preparation instructions before treatment day outlining simple access steps for our technician.
Clear perimeter access
Move items away from exterior foundation walls so the technician can reach ground entry points easily.
Keep children and pets away
Homeowners keep children and pets out of treated areas following the specific written reentry instructions provided.
Observe initial activity changes
Not every problem ends in one visit, so your technician explains what to expect and whether follow-up treatments are needed.
Plan follow-up maintenance
Quarterly plan members receive regular exterior visits to maintain perimeter control against returning seasonal pests.
Preventing indoor pest entry
Homeowner maintenance helps reduce moisture, but prevention steps alone will not end an active pest infestation.
- Fix leaking hose bibbs, outdoor faucets, and irrigation drip lines.
- Keep irrigation water spraying away from exterior foundation walls.
- Trim bushes, shrubs, and plant foliage off exterior stucco walls.
- Store firewood, lumber, and decorative rock piles away from the house.
- Seal gaps around window frames, exterior doors, and plumbing pipes.
- Keep garages organized and store cardboard boxes off the concrete floor.

Common occasional invader questions
Are these pests covered under regular plans?
Yes, silverfish, earwigs, centipedes, and pill bugs are covered under our Quarterly Home Pest Plan, which includes initial interior service and regularly scheduled exterior perimeter visits.
What about children and pets during service?
Our products are applied according to label directions. You receive written preparation and reentry instructions before treatment day, and homeowners keep children and pets clear of treated areas as instructed.
How do I prepare for my service visit?
We provide written preparation guidelines before your visit. Common steps include clearing access along interior baseboards and moving items away from exterior foundation walls so the technician can work.
How much does crawling pest treatment cost?
You review and approve your quote before treatment starts, and general pest estimates are free. New plan customers receive $50 off their first service when enrolling in a quarterly plan.
Will pests disappear after one visit?
Results vary depending on the pest, property conditions, and treatment scope. Some pests require ongoing follow-up treatments, and our technician will explain what timeline to expect for your home.
Can I prevent earwigs and silverfish myself?
Fixing plumbing leaks, reducing exterior moisture, and storing paper goods in plastic bins helps reduce attraction, though preventative habits alone will not resolve an active home infestation.
