Typical signs
These signs point to an infestation. On the phone, we help you assess what you have found.
Grey rather than silver
Grey silverfish are grey to brownish, a good centimetre long and have strikingly long antennae and tail filaments.
In dry rooms
They turn up in the bedroom, in the office or behind the bookshelf, not just in a damp bathroom.
Feeding marks on paper
Nibbled wallpaper edges, book spines, photos or cardboard can point to a larger population.
Insects in several rooms
If insects are seen in different rooms or on different floors, the population has usually already spread through joints and shafts.

The cause, not the symptom
Certified experts identify the pest and find out where the infestation is coming from. Only then is it really over.
Gentle methods
Methods and products are tailored to the flat, house or business – with consideration for children and pets.
Discreet and clean
We work unobtrusively and leave the rooms tidy. We discuss the appointment and the procedure with you alone.
Useful facts about grey silverfish
Grey silverfish are related to the silverfish but need far less moisture. That is why you find them not only in the bathroom but throughout the home, in offices and in archives.
They feed on paper, wallpaper, glue and skin flakes. Because they breed slowly but steadily, early control is much easier than late control.
Better ventilation alone hardly helps against them, and spray only drives them deeper into joints and cavities. What works are baits placed in the right spots, whose success we check with traps over several months.
How it works
From your call onwards, we take over – step by step.
-
You call us
You tell us where you have seen the insects. From a photo we determine whether they are grey silverfish.
-
Inspection with monitoring
The specialist looks for hiding places and sets up sticky traps if needed. This shows in which rooms the insects are active.
-
Baits and follow-up check
Baits are placed precisely in gaps and behind skirting boards. A follow-up check shows whether the population is declining.

Honest answers to the questions almost everyone asks. We are happy to clarify anything else in person.
What does it cost?
Our prices are transparent and fair. Give us a call – we will discuss your situation and the next steps.
Is it safe for children and pets?
The baits are hidden in gaps and cavities, not out in the open. We tell you in advance where they will be placed and what children and pets should not touch.
Will it stay discreet?
Yes. We arrive in neutral, unmarked vehicles and make sure your case is handled discreetly, so that outsiders notice nothing of the infestation.
How long does it take?
Grey silverfish live for several years and breed slowly. Control therefore usually takes a few months with several checks.

Questions about grey silverfish
Your question isn’t listed?
Ask us directly: 043 508 75 29
Why are grey silverfish often found in new buildings?
They are often brought in with building materials, cardboard boxes or furniture. In warm, well-insulated flats they find good conditions all year round.
Are grey silverfish harmful to health?
No, they do not sting or bite. But they can damage books, documents, photos and wallpaper, and in archives valuable collections too.
Why is one visit rarely enough?
The insects hide deep in joints and cavities and only feed now and then. The baits therefore work slowly, and success has to be checked with traps.
Does an infestation affect the neighbours too?
In apartment buildings, grey silverfish can spread through service shafts. On request, we involve the property management in the planning.
