Silverfish Treatment

Silverfish Pest Control Application

We use internal liquid spray and dusting application to roof voids and wall cavities in severe cases.

Silverish often feed on books, leather, coffee, carpet, sugar, paper, photos, cosmetics and starches that are found around our homes. Silverfish are attracted by damp areas and clothing. Silverfish are found throughout most of a home but thrive in kitchens, garages, roof voids, wall cavities, basements, wardrobes and inside boxed containers.

They are nocturnal animals and rarely travel during the daytime. They also move in a fast running, quick manner, making them hard for homeowners to spot. Silverfish reproduction is slow the female can lay no more than 60 eggs at once, and on average lays 100 eggs per lifetime.

Due to their inability to climb smooth surfaces they are often located in baths and basins due to them being trapped. Silverfish are often introduced to our homes by purchasing paper towels, toilet paper and similar products or purchasing second hand furniture and cloths.

What they lack in reproductive efficiency, they make up in longevity. Silverfish can live for up to 4 years and can survive for several weeks without water, and for a whole year without food. They also feed on dead or injured insects.
