What are grey silverfish?

Grey silverfish are small, elongated insects about 15 millimeters long. They resemble silverfish but are brown rather than silvery gray and are also longer. These wingless insects feed on paper and textile fibers, making them common around books, stacks of paper, and archives. Grey silverfish are also attracted to wallpaper and various types of glue. They move quickly and are difficult to catch. Grey silverfish thrive best in dry environments with low humidity, often found in newly built homes and buildings. Looking to control grey silverfish? EWS Group has the expertise to help!

Why control grey silverfish?

Grey silverfish require very little to survive, so swift action is essential to control them. Adequate ventilation, low humidity, and good hygiene are key. Unfortunately, this isn’t always enough to prevent an infestation. Blocking entry points is equally important, as these insects can easily find their way inside through cracks and crevices. If you don’t want your textiles, books, or other paper materials damaged by these insects, enlist EWS Group for effective grey silverfish control.

How to get rid of grey silverfish

Controlling grey silverfish requires a professional approach. Using chemical agents on your own is not advisable, as these can be harmful to children, pets, and anyone who might come into contact with them. When home remedies are insufficient, it’s best to call in EWS Group as a professional pest controller to handle the infestation effectively. We first assess preventive measures with you and use chemical solutions only as a last resort. This ensures a sustainable approach. Let us know how we can assist you with grey silverfish control.
