Advion silverfish gel / silverfish gel - 30 g cartridge

Professional solution for controlling silverfish in commercial and private properties, such as public institutions, gastronomy, hotels, residential buildings, etc.

Advion Silverfish Gel is the ideal choice for commercial and residential properties such as gastronomy, hotels, property and facility management as well as public institutions (schools, libraries, etc.) that want to protect themselves from silverfish. 

Thanks to its highly attractive bait formulation and the innovative active ingredient Indoxacarb (1.28%), the gel offers a targeted, sustainable, and safe control of silverfish – without risk to exhibits or sensitive materials.

Silverfish (Lepisma saccharina) can damage valuable books, documents, and exhibits as they feed on sugar- and starch-containing materials. Their preferred food includes sugar, flour, cereal flakes, baked goods, as well as starch-based adhesives like glue or wallpaper paste. Algae, molds, house dust mites, and organic waste such as skin flakes also serve as food sources.

It is remarkable that silverfish can survive for several months without food without harm. Their activity strongly depends on environmental conditions: below 10 °C they stop moving, while they die at temperatures above 35 °C. Humidity below 30% also prevents their reproduction.

Advantages of Advion Silverfish Gel:

• Highly effective active ingredient formula: Indoxacarb exerts its toxic effect only after ingestion by silverfish – this keeps the gel attractive longer and maximizes control within the population.
  
• Delayed effect: The gel does not act immediately, ensuring that the gel is carried back into the nests by silverfish and passed on there through feces & carcasses.
• Broad spectrum of activity and extensive approval: Targets specifically
• silverfish (Lepisma saccharina), Silverfish (Ctenolepisma longicaudata), as well as relevant cockroach species.
• Cascade effect/domino effect: The gel is passed on to other conspecifics through cannibalism (the dead silverfish is eaten by others Silverfish eaten).
• Long-lasting effect: The gel remains active for up to 3 months without losing its attractiveness. Depending on conditions, the gel can even be effective for up to 9 months.
  
• Precise application: Easy dosing with the cartridge – ideal for hiding places, cracks, crevices, and hard-to-reach areas. Baseboards and door frames are perfect for protected application.
