How To Get Rid Of Silverfish In Maylands

Every year, you find yourself feeling a bit embarrassed about your wardrobe. You're halfway through your spring cleaning when, out of nowhere, an unsightly pest shows up on your favorite shirt, blouse, or skirt. Ugh! It’s enough to make your blood boil. But no worries, we understand at all. Silverfish are indeed that unwanted company, stalking about eating your clothes and your books!

Here at Shield Termite Treatment Maylands, we are providing services for the treatment of silverfish, and we don’t mind answering your questions about them. So here are some the most common questions:

What do Silverfish look like?

These fellas are wingless, with six legs, and are about 20 mm long. They are named for their silvery-gray color and the way they swim, which is actually very fish-like. Not surprisingly, they are not also fussy eaters, chomping down on everything from adhesives, and images to carbohydrates, and reserve bindings.

What attracts Silverfish?

Silverfish prefer dark, humid areas such as sheds, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. It is a night owl, only comes after dark, attracted to paper and wet clothes. Now even though they are quick and can be destructive, we often worry about all things precious like books and documents!

Are Silverfish dangerous?

Fortunately, these little guys are a lot creepier than they are dangerous. Not that they tend to bite, and they are also not contagious. In general they are really poncey, but who needs them, huh?

How do you kill Silverfish naturally?

Here are some home remedies to help you out:

  • Stick a bar or two of classic soap in your drawers and cupboards.

  • Put some Citronella oil on a used towel and put it in a ziplock bag.

  • Scatter some cedar shavings or whole cloves around where they hang out.

  • Basil fresh or dried also has its merits to entice them to vacate.

Need more firepower?

If natural remedies can only go so far, consider:

  • Boric acid.

  • Different repellents and insecticides.

  • Pyrethrin: It is a type of chemical spray that consists of a liquid pyrethrin.

Why use Ecofriendly Pest Control for the silverfish treatment?
