Watch: Silverfish Damage to Books and Archives

Education

Science, Education, Innovation, and Quality Products are the pillars making Insects Limited a leader in pheromone technology.

Insects Limited's videos offer training to eradicate pest hassles and stop them before they start.

Following the theme this month, in this video Entomologist Patrick Kelley discusses what the common silverfish, Lepisma saccharina, eats and what habitats it prefers. Through monitoring, habitat removal and the removal of food sources, silverfish can be prevented from causing damage to books, paper and archives.

Silverfish commonly cause damage to books, archives and paper as well as a wide range of other materials. They can be a nightmare to librarians, archivists, museum professionals and to people in their homes.
