What you need to know about the silver fish

Silver fish (or lepers) are very agile insects. they owe their name to the small silver scales that cover all their bodies. polyphages, they can eat starch, crumbs, sugar, paper. but they can also stay up to 1 year without eating! They can only live in humid and warm environments, which is why they are found mainly in bathrooms, kitchens, toilets or laundry facilities. with low fertility, longevity (up to 5 years) and a preference for night activity, silver fish usually go unnoticed in the houses. Pay attention to books, especially if they are wet.

 

How to eliminate the silver fish ?

le poisson d'argent - Lepisma saccharina

1 - Treat surfaces with our insecticide 4j diluted to 5% (see 500ml / 5 m2). Depending on your figure and the surface of the parts to be processed, you can opt for the same insecticide, but underIts concentrated form. You will then need to dilute it with water in a 5% sprayer (or 50ml pure insecticide for 950 ml of water).

2 - For closed and potentially infested volumes (under sink or bathtub,). deal with the bomb insecticide Ecodoo Or the flying insecticide Aries.

3 - You can also treat infested areas to the anti-ant oil, also usable on the silver fish.

4 - Sprinkle all infested or passing places but not wet with our diatomaceous earth. for action in the smallest corners, small holes and interstices difficult to access, prefer the spray diatom in the form of aerosol. reduce, as far as possible, the humidity of the room or area (ventilation, heating, leak removal, ...), the lack of water being often fatal for this insect.

Fair to questions about the silver fish

Q: There's money fish in my apartment. I bought the product 4j diluted. what frequency do I need to renew the application of the product ?
R: This product can be renewed several times a week until the total disappearance of the insect. Do not forget the underside of the bathtub and narrow spaces (fents, holes) these are places in which they can lodge and reproduce. but be careful, we know that the silver fish can only live with heat and humidity (kitchen, bathroom). other complementary processes can promote its disappearance: aeration, moisture absorbers, a decrease in heating (under 15°C).
Q: I have silver fish at my place and I'd like to finish it with them. What insecticide do you recommend to me, and are they compatible with my cat ?
R: The most effective will be used insecticide 4j diluted to 5% for environmental treatment. Avoid contacting the cat and insecticide, the latter being composed of pyrethre. wait a few hours before you put your pet back in the room that was treated. You can also sprinkle your cat with our insect repellent dry shampoo composed of margosa and talc.
