Reusable Silverfish Trap
The GotchaPest a simple, chemical-free way to manage silverfish in the damp, dark corners of your home. Silverfish hide by day and forage by night, chewing through books, wallpaper, photographs, paperwork and stored clothing — so the most effective control is a trap placed exactly where they travel.
Each trap takes simple household bait, catches silverfish where they're most active (under sinks, in wardrobes, near bookshelves and along skirting boards), and can be emptied and reused season after season. No sprays, no poison, no throwaway plastic — just a quiet, effective trap that protects your belongings. Key Benefits
Reusable for years — refresh the bait, not the trap
Poisoned bait kills silverfish as they feed and groom themselves
Targets silverfish where they travel: under sinks, in wardrobes, near bookshelves
No spray needed around books, papers and pantry food
NZ-made and built for Kiwi homes, bathrooms, laundries and roof spaces
Discreet, low-profile design for dark, damp corners How It Works
Silverfish forage at night along edges and into dark, damp spots. Place the trap where you've seen them — under sinks, in wardrobes, near bookshelves and along skirting boards. Silverfish crawl in and feed on the poisoned bait. It's not a trap they can't escape — the bait does the work. It damages their outer body and keeps poisoning them as they clean themselves, so they die from eating it. Check and replace the bait as directed until the silverfish are gone.
Instructions
Setup
Open the trap, place the poisoned bait in the centre as directed, and close it. Set it flat in a dark, damp spot where you've seen silverfish — under the sink, in a wardrobe, near a bookshelf or along a skirting board. Check every few days and refresh the bait as directed until the silverfish are gone.
Usage
Place the trap in dark, humid areas: bathrooms, laundries, roof spaces, under-sink cupboards, wardrobes and bookshelves. Use more than one trap in larger rooms or severe infestations. Silverfish feed on the poisoned bait and die — there's no need to empty live insects from the trap.
Safety
This trap uses poisoned bait. Always read and follow the instructions, and keep the bait and trap out of reach of children and pets.
