FAQs
How can pest control professionals eradicate silverfish?
Spray residual pesticides outside your home if you have silverfish problems. To stop silverfish from moving around, spray a thin line around the perimeter of your building.
Silverfish cannot enter a building if spraying the exterior foundation walls. You can also spray the attic with Intice Perimeter 10. A pest management specialist should handle this type of silverfish pest control.
Tom’s Pest Control Perth can help you devise a strategy to manage silverfish infestations and prevent future outbreaks. In moist basements, we use dehumidifiers. Place plastic sheets on dirt crawl areas and roof ridge vents to let the damp air in.
Are silverfish dangerous for pets and people?
Silverfish are non-infectious, do not bite people or animals, and don’t spread disease. However, they can spread disease and contaminate food if they are allowed to enter from the outside.
Your bed could be the ideal environment for silverfish, as they love to live in wet areas. However, suppose your bed has heat from your body, temperature in your bedroom, and dark areas between the mattress and pillows. In that case, silverfish may use it for breeding quickly.
They can wreak havoc in your house. They can also eat your belongings because they eat insects. In addition, the feces of the insects can leave stains. The insects are harmless and will not cause any illness. Pets can eat silverfish, but this should not be encouraged.
What are the signs of a silverfish infestation?
The presence of live silverfish first detects silverfish infestations. These small, flexible, and slippery insects range in colour from brown-grey to blue-silver. They have a teardrop-shaped body and move similarly to fish swimming, wriggling forwards and backwards.
Silverfish droppings are small and easily mistaken for dust or household objects. However, if they come back after you have swept them once, it is a sign that you have a problem.
Silverfish lose their skin all through their lives. Silverfish’s outer shells are a sign of infestation. They are small, translucent, and fragile. Although you won’t see the silverfish moulting their skins, it is possible to observe the golden dust they leave behind on surfaces. These yellow stains are found on clothing, books, papers, cardboard boxes, and paper.
How can you keep silverfish from your business or home?
Preventative measures are the best way to avoid an infestation of silverfish. Avoid situations that encourage the reproduction or appearance of silverfish. They keep the things they love and require to survive nearby.
Silverfish require water, food, shelter, and protection. They won’t thrive if they don’t have these things. These are ways to protect your home and business from silverfish infestation.
- Store all pantry items in sealed containers containing sugar or starch. This will keep them dry and free of silverfish.
- Vacuum and sweep your home regularly. Silverfish will eat dust-related particles.
- Garments should be dried. You should dry clothes that you don’t wear often.
- Don’t discard leftovers. These insects might eat leftovers from a meal party.
- Keep silverfish, and other insects, out of cracks in walls or floors. This will stop them from hiding and laying eggs.
What kind of property damage can silverfish do?
Silverfish can cause significant damage to historical artifacts, paper records, and other papers. In addition, silverfish can cause serious damage to homes and buildings. If museums are empty, this might not seem like a problem. However, this makes it easier for silverfish and other insects to thrive and reproduce in these unattended areas.
Silverfish love sweet and starchy foods and will eat many household items. Many materials can be found in which bugs might find sugars or starches, such as wallpaper, books and paintings, wallpaper, photographs, and wallpaper.
These insects are attracted to protein-rich foods like cereals and dried meat. These bugs also enjoy sugar and starches. These bugs love cereals, grains, pet food, and other foods.
