UK-exclusive at PestEx 2024 for Silverfish AS

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.
