Silverfish love the damp air in Columbus homes and feed on paper, glue and starch. We find where they hide and treat those spots inside your home.
Why us?
A licensed technician checks bathrooms, under sinks, the attic and the crawl space for silverfish and the damp spots they need. The inspection and estimate are free, and you get the price before any work starts.
We offer same-day and next-day appointments across Columbus. We use family and pet-safe products in every room we treat.
Most homes do best with quarterly service. If silverfish come back between scheduled visits, so do we, at no extra charge. Every treatment comes with our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Silverfish need high humidity to survive. Run a dehumidifier or the bathroom fan, fix leaky pipes and keep cardboard boxes off damp floors. Store old books, papers and photos in sealed plastic bins.

Every silverfish job starts with a free inspection and a price before any work begins.
Silverfish in the tub or behind the washer? We treat the damp cracks and baseboards where they hide.
Seeing them when you open the cabinet? We check the plumbing gaps and damp spots under kitchen and bathroom sinks.
Silverfish coming down from above? We check the attic, where stored boxes and insulation give them cover.
A damp crawl space under the house? We inspect for moisture and treat where silverfish live.
Small holes or yellow stains on books, papers or wallpaper? We find the silverfish feeding on them and treat the area.
Want lasting help overhead? We also install T·A·P® Pest Control Insulation, which kills silverfish that crawl through it.

D.J. S.Oct 2026 James notifies me the day before he is coming. I appreciate this courtesy, because it gives me a heads up before I am notified by the cameras that someone is in my yard. He sprays all of the designated areas each time he comes. It must be working, because I have not had any bugs inside of the house.
Karen C.Feb 2026 Consistent service, respectful of property. Since starting service with Jarrod's i haven't had any problems with insects in my house.

Nikita S.Aug 2025 The tech John who services my home is great! He’s always in a pleasant mood he addresses my concerns and makes sure I’m not having any issues with bugs. I Highly recommend Jarrod’s.
Mary B.Jun 2025 Robert is our tech at Jarrod’s. He’s always very nice, respectful and knowledgeable. When I see him he always makes sure to ask if we are having any bug issues he needs to address, and if so, he promptly takes care of it. Thankfully out of the 7 years we’ve been using Jarrod’s, we’ve only experienced 2 issues and they were quickly resolved. I highly recommend Jarrod’s as a pest control company as well as our tech, Robert!

Your technician finds where silverfish hide and checks for the moisture that keeps them there. You get the price before any work starts.
We treat cracks, baseboards, plumbing gaps and other hiding spots with family and pet-safe products.
We point out the leaks, damp spots and clutter to fix so silverfish have fewer places to live. If they come back between scheduled visits, so do we.
Jarrod's is a crew of technicians, wildlife specialists and office staff who live in the towns we serve. Our technicians are licensed in Georgia and Alabama and arrive in a marked Jarrod's truck.

Here is what Columbus homeowners ask us most.
Silverfish are small, wingless insects about 1/2 to 1 inch long. They are silvery gray, shaped like a teardrop and wiggle like a fish when they run. They hide during the day and come out at night.
They don't bite, but they eat paper, book bindings, wallpaper paste, photos and some fabrics. Over time they can leave small holes and yellow stains on stored items.
Silverfish need damp air. Bathrooms, laundry rooms, attics and crawl spaces with leaks or poor airflow suit them best. Lowering the humidity is one of the best ways to keep them away.
Yes. We use family and pet-safe products. Your technician will tell you if kids or pets need to stay out of an area, and for how long.
It depends on the size of your home and how far the silverfish have spread. The inspection and estimate are free, and you get the price before any work starts.
