Silverfish or Firebrats?Should we Control Firebrats Differently?

摘要

You probably control an infestation of firebrats exactly the same way you control silverfish. Maybe you don't even know the difference between silverfish and firebrats. That could be a problem.Firebrat ID - Firebrats are related to silverfish and look a lot like silverfish, but there are some important differences. Like silverfish, firebrats are flattened, elongate, and carrot-shaped with long antennae and 3 bristlelike appendages at the rear. In fact, both groups of insects are sometimes called "bristletails." The two insects differ, however, in coloration. Silverfish are usually a solid metallic color, silvery to gray. Firebrats don't have the silvery sheen; they are tan to brown, mottled with gray, and are darker than silverfish.
