Silverfish Control in City of London: what we see locally
Silverfish thrive in humid bathrooms, kitchens and basements. In the City's modern residential towers, grey silverfish are increasingly common, spreading through service gaps between flats.
We treat the cracks, gaps and service routes silverfish use, and advise on reducing humidity.
Common silverfish are also found in older City buildings, in damp basements, archive rooms and storerooms where paper and cardboard are kept. They can damage documents, books and packaging, which makes them a particular concern for offices with paper archives.
