[Nhcoll-l] Pest identification

[Tocci, Genevieve E.]

I agree that some of it looks like it could be silverfish damage (and the long tailed silverfish eats fast! C. longicaudatum) but other parts do not look like grazing and looks more like water/humidity. It is hard to say for sure.

If you send this to the pestlist you may get some additional answers and ideas. Sometimes blunder traps right along the tasty areas helps, or placing them upside down on the floor and just slightly elevated with pennies or something that approximate thickness will get you better results for silverfish.

Good luck!
Genevieve

C. longicaudatum ... has the common name: paperfish (sic!)

But: are we sure, that this is not a humidity issue? it looks a bit as the paper would disintegrate rather than being consumed ... Wouldn't paper and silverfish leave sharp clean edges ?
