Silverfish Control in Bexley: what we see locally
Silverfish love damp, humid places like bathrooms, kitchens and basements. They feed on starch, paper and food crumbs, and come out at night.
In newer flats, including developments in Erith and Thamesmead, we also find grey silverfish, which can live in drier conditions. We treat the cracks, gaps and service routes they use.
Older Bexley homes with solid floors, poorly ventilated bathrooms or damp kitchens are prone to common silverfish, while newer flats in Erith, Thamesmead and Bexleyheath are seeing more grey silverfish, which can spread from flat to flat through service gaps.
