- ✓ Treatment and prevention
- ✓ Report and follow-up
Identification: what have you found?
Silverfish are mainly associated with damp areas. Long-tailed silverfish can also occur in drier rooms and around paper or cardboard. Antennae and tail filaments help identification, but a clear photo and location are more useful than colour alone.

An approach for your Amsterdam property
In Amsterdam apartments, upper-floor homes and businesses, shared shafts, storage areas, cellars and neighbouring rooms can be relevant. Report actual evidence and agree access with the resident, owner or owners’ association. For restaurants or hotels we plan around kitchen work, stock and room occupancy.
Investigation, treatment and follow-up
Sander and our regional team work in Amsterdam. The specialist attending your appointment explains the findings and proposed measures.
Identify which species is present
We assess insects, locations, moisture, storage and spread across rooms. One sighting does not automatically mean an infestation. Paper damage or repeated activity prompts a check for long-tailed silverfish or another species.
Address conditions and harbourage
Reducing moisture and improving ventilation often matter for silverfish. For long-tailed silverfish, we assess crevices, storage and spread and may combine suitable control with monitoring. Drying a bathroom alone does not address every long-tailed silverfish infestation.
Track activity
We agree where sightings or monitoring are recorded and when to evaluate. Fresh findings are assessed room by room. Preparation and aftercare match the selected measures.
Costs and proposal scope
Species, spread and required measures determine whether treatment is appropriate and its cost. One silverfish does not automatically require a treatment visit. Monitoring and checks are specified for any agreed programme.
Preparation and aftercare
Before the visit
- Photograph an insect and record its location, including paper or packaging damage.
- Tell us about leaks, condensation and spread into dry rooms. Provide access to relevant skirting and storage.
After the visit
- Complete the agreed moisture and storage measures.
- Leave monitoring in place and record fresh sightings by room; clean treated areas as instructed.
Questions about this approach
Does one silverfish require treatment?
Not automatically. Assess moisture and repetition first. Many insects, damage or findings across dry rooms warrant identification and further investigation.
Why distinguish long-tailed silverfish?
Conditions and control differ. Long-tailed silverfish can spread through dry rooms; addressing bathroom moisture alone may be insufficient.
Are the photos at the same scale?
No. They show identification features at different scales. Compare location and body shape too, and send a photo if uncertain.
Can they travel with boxes?
Insects can move with belongings or packaging. Check suspect storage and avoid relocating it blindly; we discuss suitable measures for your situation.
