Silverfish Control in Greenwich: what we see locally
Silverfish thrive in damp, humid rooms such as bathrooms, kitchens and basements, and Greenwich's Victorian and Georgian homes, with their cellars and older plumbing, suit them well.
Grey silverfish, which can live in drier conditions, are increasingly common in new developments at Greenwich Peninsula, the Royal Arsenal, Kidbrooke Village and Greenwich Millennium Village. They spread between flats through service gaps.
We treat the cracks, skirting boards and service routes they use, and advise on reducing humidity.
