In a groundbreaking development, a new and highly effective method for controlling longtailed silverfish has been developed, combining scientific research and field-tested solutions. This scientific research done by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health in collaboration with insurance companies. Skadedyrkontroll1 AS now offers a long-awaited solution to a problem that has been steadily growing in homes and commercial buildings.

Skadedyrkontroll 1 AS Addresses a Growing Issue

Silverfish are not dangerous to humans or pets. They don’t bite, sting, or spread diseases, making them more of a nuisance than a threat. Their impact is mostly cosmetic, as they can damage books, fabrics, and wallpaper over time.

Though their presence can be unsettling, silverfish are harmless, and effective control methods can quickly restore comfort to your home.

Revolutionary Bait with Indoxacarb by Skadedyrkontroll 1 AS

At the core of this breakthrough is a bait formulated with indoxacarb, a proven active ingredient. This bait not only directly affects silverfish but also introduces a secondary and tertiary poisoning effect, ensuring a cascading reduction in population. Skadedyrkontroll 1 AS emphasizes that precise placement of these baits in cracks, crevices, and other hiding spots is key to achieving optimal results.

Effective Baits for Silverfish Control

Among baits tested with active ingredients like fipronil, imidacloprid, clothianidin, and indoxacarb, only indoxacarb has shown superior results due to its secondary and tertiary poisoning effects wich is essential for the superior effect for the treatment. Not only will the Silverfish consuming the bait die, but others that feed on their carcasses will also die, amplifying the effectivenessof the treatment.

Secondary Effects Enhance Efficiency

One of the unique features of this method is the “horizontal effect.” Silverfish that die after consuming the bait are often eaten by other silverfish, causing the toxic agent to spread further within the population. This domino effect enhances the treatment’s efficiency and ensures deeper penetration into hard-to-reach areas.

Optimal Bait Placement is key

Apply small drops (10–20 mg) at a minimum density of one drop per square meter using a precision applicator. Place bait in cracks, crevices, and along baseboards near hiding spots to maximize effectiveness. Ensure bait is inaccessible to children and pets, especially in homes or daycare settings.

Skadedyrkontroll 1 AS Ensures Safety and Effectiveness

Safety remains a priority for Skadedyrkontroll 1 AS. The baits are applied in minimal quantities, ensuring they are inaccessible to children and pets. This method’s efficiency has been validated through extensive trials, showing up to a 98% reduction in silverfish populations within six months.

• 6-8 weeks: Up to 80% reduction in observable silverfish population.
• 12 weeks: Over 90% reduction.
• 5-6 months: Up to 98% reduction in most cases.

The bait also offers long-lasting protection, remaining active for up to four years under optimal conditions. This extended efficacy helps prevent reinfestation and reduces the need for repeated treatments.

Safety for humans and pets has been a top priority in the development of this solution. Skadedyrkontroll 1 AS applies the bait in tiny drops, strategically placed in inaccessible areas such as behind baseboards, inside cracks, and around pipe penetrations. This ensures minimal exposure to non-target organisms. In households with children or pets, treatments are often performed in stages, isolating areas being treated while maintaining safe living spaces elsewhere.
