• SILVERFISH BIOLOGY AND HABITS

MORE RECOMMENDED MEASURES FOR SILVERFISH PEST CONTROL:

1. Sources of any undue moisture, such as faulty plumbing or condensation that provide the humidity favored by these pests should be eliminated.
2. Dehumidifying reduces the moisture content of the air that these insects find essential. Some methods for dehumidifying include:
3. Mend leaking pipes.
   Ventilate closed rooms and attics.
   Eliminate standing water.
   Use a dehumidifier an air conditioner.


4. Regularly vacuuming cracks and crevices with a narrow vacuum tip also can be a good method to physically remove these insects from their harborages.
5. Removal of food sources , stored in tight containers.
6. If you have a problem of silver fish inside your home, a good residual insecticide perimeter spray treatment of:
    Demon WP , Cyper WP insecticide or Cyonara 9.7( won't leave a film residue like the Demon WP or Cyper WP)
   
    Cyonara 9.7 insecticide, sprayed around entry points and foundation of the house would be sufficient.
   Spray along the foundational wall, with a two or three foot band.
   Demon WP /Cyper WP or Cyonara 9.7:
   All the products: Demon WP, Cyper WP, or Cyonara 9.7 last for two to three months.
   All products are odorless.

   However if you have a more severe problem with silverfish , look into stored boxes and the insulation in your attic. It is best to dust or bait these areas for greater control. A recommended dust would be: Drione Dust

7. Use silica gel which acts like a desiccant such as:
    Drione Dust.
   When you use baits or dusts, you do want to get it as close as possible to their habitats to be effective.
   You never want to bait and dust in areas that are visible.
   Dust needs to be in hidden areas such as :
   Attics-Insulation
   Behind Refrigerators and Ovens
   Boxes
   Light fixtures
   Electrical outlets
   Under siding .
   
8. A recommended dust for silverfish control would be  DRIONE DUST. It is a dessicant dust that last for 6 months.
   It dries up insects has they pass through it. Apply it in the attic in the insulation area in particular, under siding, in storage boxes,light fixtures, electrical outlets.
   Apply it to areas that can be kept dry. An easy way to apply DRIONE DUST, if broadcasting in the insulation area would be the use of a duster
   called the  DUSTIN MIZER,cranking out a large amount of dust at a time.
   You will want one lb. of dust per 800-1000 sq. ft.

   For smaller dust jobs the  BULB DUSTER or  BELLOWS 8 OZ DUSTER would work fine.

9. Another very effective way is the use of baits in the attic or on the outside for silverfish control.
10. . Intice Bait works very well
    against silverfish as well as roaches and crickets.
    It can be sprinkled out in a self contained one lb. bag, in all the areas you believe they are hiding.
11. SILVERFISH PAKS are designed to go inside. These Paks destroy these year-round pests that eat wool, paper, linen and cellulose materials. Place odorless, wafer-thin packets under rugs, behind curtains, in closets and dark hidden places . Place away from children and pets. Intice and Silverfish Paks both are designed to attrack the silverfish as they eat, functioning as baits. If you do not know the exact location of the habitat of the silverfish and cannot treat it directly, baits are ideal for silverfish control.
12. You can also you a residual aerosol like  AIR DEVIL with a crack and crevice tip, enabling you to get behind baseboards and corners of traveling paths of the silverfish. This type of aerosol is very helpful in bathrooms where silverfish like to eat the back of wallpaper.
