Fortunately, rodents are not difficult to exterminate.

Silverfish will enter your home through cracks in your surrounding foundation, and minuscule crevasses that lead into your home. Silverfish usually enter your home due to moist spaces like moldy wood, which can create tiny holes for them to enter.
