Silverfish Control in Barnet: what we see locally
Silverfish thrive in damp, humid rooms such as bathrooms, kitchens and basements, and in older Barnet houses with poor ventilation they can become a regular nuisance.
The newer grey silverfish, which can live in drier conditions, is increasingly found in modern flats, including developments in Colindale, Mill Hill East and around Brent Cross. Our treatment targets the cracks, gaps and service routes they use.
