Whereas the latter swim placidly about their aquarium dwellings, the former lurk in the dark, moist corners of your home, munching on everything from paper goods and fabric to adhesives and mold. Larger groups of silverfish may rasp irregular holes in paper, cloth, leather and items made of similar materials. DeltaDust provides quick control of a wide variety of household pests to include silverfish, scorpions, spiders, cockroaches, ants, bed bugs, fleas, termites, moths, carpet beetles, and more.
