Greek term or phrase: σηριβήδια

This is from the label of a pesticide used in Cyprus: 'σηριβήδια' is in the list of ΕΧΘΡΟΙ, i.e. the pests the product can be used against.

The first part of the word reminds me of silk (σηρικός), but I have no idea what this pest is.

Can someone give me an English equivalent and / or the Latin name?
Thanks
