Silverfish Control in Brent: what we see locally
Silverfish thrive in damp, humid rooms such as bathrooms and kitchens, and come out at night to feed on starch, paper and crumbs. In Brent's older terraces and semis, gaps behind baths and poorly ventilated bathrooms are common hiding places.
Grey silverfish, a newer species that can live in drier conditions, are very common in Wembley Park's new towers and in the new developments at Alperton, South Kilburn and Neasden. They spread between flats through gaps around service pipes. Our treatment targets the cracks, skirting boards and service routes they use.
