Protect books, clothes, and your family's health
Silverfish (Lepisma saccharina) are small, wingless insects with a metallic silvery sheen. They are nocturnal, agile and love dark, humid places — bathrooms, kitchens, wardrobes, libraries and store rooms. They feed on starch, cellulose, paper, glue, books, wallpaper, silk and cotton clothing, causing irreparable damage to family heirlooms and important documents.
Dust mites (Dermatophagoides) are microscopic relatives of spiders that live in bedding, carpets and upholstered furniture. Their droppings and decomposed body fragments are one of the leading triggers of asthma, allergic rhinitis and eczema worldwide. Insect Killer Services provides combined silverfish and mite control using humidity reduction, residual spray, mattress steam and HEPA-grade allergen removal.
Where silverfish and mites thrive
- Wardrobes, drawers and storage boxes
- Books, magazines, files and important documents
- Bathrooms, kitchens and basements (humid areas)
- Mattresses, pillows, sofas and carpets
- Wallpaper, cardboard and fabric
Our treatment process
- Inspection: Identify humidity hotspots, harbourage and extent of damage.
- Humidity control: Recommend ventilation, dehumidifier and moisture fixes.
- Targeted residual spray: Long-lasting, low-odor spray in cracks, wardrobes and skirting.
- Mattress & sofa steam: 120°C steam treatment kills mites, eggs and allergens.
- Wardrobe treatment: Cedar blocks, lavender sachets and moth-safe products.
- Follow-up: 30-day revisit to refresh spray and check for re-infestation.
Why silverfish & mite control matters
- Protects books, files, documents and family heirlooms
- Reduces asthma, allergy and eczema triggers in the family
- Preserves silk, wool and cotton clothing from damage
- Essential for libraries, archives, museums and textile shops
- Improves indoor air quality and sleep quality
Dust-mite allergens are so light that they stay airborne for hours. Regular mattress steam + residual treatment is the gold standard for allergy-prone families.
