Silverfish Control in Camden: what we see locally
Silverfish love damp, humid conditions, and Camden's basement flats, older bathrooms and Georgian cellars suit them well.
Grey silverfish, which can live in drier homes, are increasingly found in new developments, including those around King's Cross and Kentish Town. We treat the cracks, gaps and service routes they use.
In the Georgian terraces of Bloomsbury and Camden Town, basement kitchens and bathrooms with solid floors and limited ventilation are ideal for silverfish. In the new buildings around King's Cross, Kentish Town and Swiss Cottage, grey silverfish can move between flats through the gaps around service pipes and in shared risers.
