Fishmoth Control for Gauteng Homes

Fishmoths, or silverfish, can destroy linen and clothing in a matter of weeks. We treat cupboards, storage containers, skirting boards and curtains with a combination spray and low-volume fogging treatment.

There is no need to vacate during treatment. As a precaution, pets should be locked away during treatment plus one hour afterwards. Fishmoths are often brought in with cardboard boxes or paper files that have not been disturbed for a while.

Fishmoths are covered by our commercial Pest Management Programme, including offices and storerooms where paper files and boxes are kept.

PREVENTION
Watch undisturbed boxes and files

Fishmoths are often brought into a building in cardboard boxes or paper files, and are attracted by damp and warmth.
