Why professional help matters
Paper silverfish tolerate drier and warmer areas than ordinary silverfish. They can damage books, cardboard, wallpaper paste and archives in homes and offices.
Signs to watch for
Typical evidence includes elongated grey insects and damage to paper, books or stored cardboard.
Our approach
We begin with the area, evidence and possible causes. For paper silverfish, our approach includes inspection of warm harbourage areas, monitoring and protection of vulnerable materials. You receive clear preparation and follow up guidance.
Helping prevent a return
Treatment works best when the supporting conditions change too. Our main advice is to store archives dry and enclosed and avoid keeping cardboard for long periods. We tailor any additional measures to your building.
