The Incredible, Lovable Silverfish

Posted on July 7, 2017 by The Bug Doctor

Wait…What?  “The incredible, lovable Silverfish?”  You’ve got to be kidding me!  Well, maybe not so lovable, but definitely incredible.

Did you know Silverfish are one of the most primitive insects on earth, dating back to over 400 million years ago?  Now that’s incredible, don’t you think?  Did you know they can live up to 6 years (providing the individual live a charmed life away from predators and the foot of a human)?  Did you know they feed on almost anything in our homes?  It’s true!  Silverfish will feed on bookbindings, hair, clothing, carpet, glue, coffee, sugar, paper, leather, cereals and dandruff!  They will even feed on their own molted exoskeleton and dead insects.  So, if you think you can starve them out, think again!  On top of their omnivorous appetite, Silverfish can live for 12 months or more without feeding, as long as water is available.

Ipm inside and out

Posted on June 13, 2017 by The Bug Doctor

IPM, Integrated Pest Management, has been around since the 1950’s, mainly for agriculture. Synthetic pesticides were coming into their own after World warII and this approach was developed to replace ‘calendar’ use of applications to more of a monitoring and action once thresholds were exceeded approach. Very smart. This allowed pesticides to be applied to pest specific and site specific areas (fields) rather than a whole region just because it was the season. Resistance was then lessened as a result. Since some insects (weeds, fungi etc.) were left untreated they could not build up a resistance thus their genes, passed on to future insects did not have this built in defense. Again smart.

There was much more to early IPM like preventative cultural practices, monitoring, biological and mechanical controls. It was all “integrated” so I guess the name fits.

By the early 1970’s IPM was developed into a national policy and steps were being taken to ensure it’s use in all areas of pesticide application, including, the pest control service provided to homes and businesses across the land.
