SFMS- Silver Fish Management Service

These are about 1/2 inch bluish-silver wingless insects with hard exoskeleton. They look like fish and their movements are very similar. They have 2 long antennas on their head and 3 prominent “tails” on rear.
Capable of thriving in most climates, silverfish prefer to dwell in dark, damp areas such as basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. They are especially attracted to paper and damp clothing. Commonly found in stored boxes in garages and sheds.

Control Measures

Silverfish are known to like damp areas (75 to 95% humidity), thats why it is recommended to reduce it to about 50%. This can be done with the help fans. Fix everything that leaks, minimize available water, ventilate the attic and closed rooms.
Caulk cracks and crevices on walls, floors, and holes around pipes to prevent the insects from using them as an entrance.
Inspect and clean ALL your possessions, including the contents of boxes, wardrobes, cupboards, book shelves, clothing, etc.
Put all possible food sources into plastic air-proof containers.
Vacuum, mop and dust your house frequently to remove eggs.
Repair or remove wallpaper.
