What are Firebrats?
Look like silverfish but mottled gray-brown and they want heat — water heaters, ovens, attics in summer.
Are they dangerous?
They eat paper, glue, and crumbs. They do not bite.
What causes them?
Hot dry rooms around appliances, unlike silverfish which like cool damp baths.
Signs in the house
Fast carrot-shaped bugs around a water heater or attic.
In Middle Tennessee
Hot utility rooms and attics.
What Death Row does
Treat cracks around the heat source. Reduce clutter. Call or text 931-500-6969.

Rain and first-cold snaps drive these. Seal beats a monthly fog. TN charter 5908. Licensed applicators only. The label beats this card if they disagree.
