There are lots of different pests that can encroach on your home or business and among those that get the most attention are rats and mice, and parasites like fleas and bed bugs. However, there are other creatures that you need to be on the alert for.

For example, if you find evidence of silverfish, you might need to invest in some suitable pest control supplies in the UK.

What are they?

Like a lot of people, you might not be sure exactly what a silverfish is. The insects are small and wingless and they get their name from their silvery light grey and blue colour combined with the fish-like appearance of their movements. Meanwhile, they tend to measure approximately 12mm in length.

They are mainly active at night when they feed on the food debris that can accrue in cracks and crevices.

Are your books at risk?

More worryingly, these insects have a penchant for the starches and gums used to bind books, meaning they pose a risk to these items. If your home or business contains expensive or precious books, this may be a particular concern. They can also cause damage to tapestries, cotton, linen, silk and synthetic fabrics.

While they may be small, it’s important not to underestimate the destruction the creatures can bring. It’s also worth bearing in mind that they can live for a long time without feeding.

Silverfish may be more common than you’d imagine. They are a particular nuisance in kitchens and commercial food premises, for example.
