Delta – The grey long tailed silverfish is here

Lately, a new variation of a regular household pest has been identified, the grey long tailed silverfish (Ctenolepisma longicaudata). Although they are often found in modern buildings they are showing up at many residential homes. Similar to our regular silverfish, they are somewhat larger, bushier and have extended tail filaments. They may be an announce but cause minute damage in homes. The grey long tailers consume anything containing polysaccharides  (a carbohydrate like starch, cellulose, or glycogen) including book bindings, carpet, clothing, glue, water based paints, paper, photos, sugar, flour and various porridges. These new silverfish are better crawlers and are more widespread in the home and very difficult to eradicate.
