Pest Control for Silver Fish

[column place=”first” width=”six” custom_class=”” ] [dropcap]S[/dropcap]ilverfish are nocturnal insects typically 13–30 mm (0.5–1 in) long. Their abdomens taper at the end, giving them a fish-like appearance. The newly hatched are whitish, but develop a greyish hue and metallic shine as they get older. They have long antennae, and move in a wiggling motion that resembles the movement of a fish. This, coupled with their appearance and silvery scales, influences their common name.

Silverfish are considered household pests, due to their consumption and destruction of property.

Treatment includes:

• Dust ceilings.
• Apply liquid spray to accessible areas in non-food cupboards.
• Apply aerosol spray in and around cupboards or infected areas.
