What to look for
Start with the signs.
Activity in damp areas
Bathrooms and basements are useful places to note recurring sightings.
Affected belongings
Silverfish can damage paper products. Record the items and rooms involved rather than assuming the cause.
Look at the room as well as the insect.
Include any known leak, condensation or ventilation concern in your request. Say whether the sightings are limited to a bathroom or also involve cupboards, bookshelves or basement storage. The same number of insects spread across several rooms describes a different situation from activity in one location.
In an apartment, mention whether the area is inside your unit or shared with other residents. Photos of the insect and the surroundings can be helpful to discuss; you do not need to empty the room before making an enquiry.
What to clarify before treatment.
A silverfish enquiry should cover the affected rooms, duration of activity and any damage to belongings. Ask which areas the proposed work includes and what preparation is needed for stored papers, books or other items.
If moisture repairs are relevant, clarify them separately. Ask how continuing activity will be reviewed and what you should record after a visit. A treatment price without those details is difficult to compare meaningfully.
Questions
A few things worth knowing.
Are poissons d’argent and lépismes silverfish?
Yes. Those French terms are used for silverfish. A photograph can help distinguish them from other small insects found indoors.
Does seeing silverfish prove I have a leak?
No. Damp conditions can be relevant, but a sighting is not a diagnosis of a plumbing problem. Mention any moisture you have actually observed.
Does one silverfish need professional treatment?
An isolated sighting and a recurring problem should be considered differently. Note the frequency, spread and any affected belongings before deciding what help is needed.
