Silverfish Treatment
What are Silverfish?
Silverfish are small wingless insects with flattened bodies, 13–25 mm in length and covered in tiny scales. There are over 370 species of this carrot shaped insect in the world. Their name is due to their silvery appearance and movements similar to fish.
Why are Silverfish a pest?
Silverfish are classed as a stored product pest and found throughout the Waikato. Typically located in high humidity areas in the home, such as bathrooms, kitchens, wardrobes, offices roof spaces and subfloors. Because they are nocturnal creatures an infestation of silverfish can go unnoticed for sometime while causing extensive damage to books, paper, clothing and linen. These nuisance pests prefer starchy materials but will also feed on most types of human foods.
