Pests. Now it is available all across the country – the greater silverfisken who are happy to feed on paper and works of art.

Difficult to find, it is not, but the harder to get rid of.

a couple of years Ago, the spread in the långsprötade silverfisken, larger than the standard and equipped with long spröt.

långsprötade silverfisken is most common in relatively newly built house, but you don’t know for sure why.

– a Little inexplicably, they can dive in large quantities in the new house, so the reason could be that it is in the construction process there are many materials that this insect likes, ” says Persson Vinnersten.

No preparations are also taking the death of all household argentine at a time.

– No, they are tricky. If it is as we believe – that they live in the walls, floors and ceilings – then they are also very difficult to access.

So the recommendation is: detailed cleaning, like vacuuming along the baseboards and in the corners. In the retail sector are also long lasting means that can be effective, silicon for example. It seems to dehydrate the insects.
