PRESS RELEASE

Silverfish AS will be showcasing the Silverfish Pyramid Trap for the first time outside Scandinavia at PestEx 2024.

Silverfish AS has made a unique and effective trap for crawling insects.

The Silverfish Pyramid Trap was primarily developed based on extensive research for long-tailed silverfish (ctenolepisma longicaudata), but it has proved itself to also work well on common silverfish, bed bugs and other crawling insects. 

The trap is equipped with a cup that holds the 100% non-toxic lure, which both attracts and kills insects. Insects crawl up on the outside of the trap and fall into the cup.

As the lure attracts silverfish for more than a year it is superb for monitoring, detection, and continuous pest reduction.

Silverfish AS was established and is owned by Julia and Halvor Sakshaug, a couple from Norway who solved their own infestation problem with this product they invented. 

Visit them on stand 3 at PestEx, 13-14 March 2024.
