Silverfish Control in Hammersmith and Fulham: what we see locally
Silverfish thrive in damp, humid rooms. Basement flats and older bathrooms in the borough's Victorian houses suit them well.
Grey silverfish are increasingly found in new developments, including White City Living, Imperial Wharf and the Fulham Gasworks site. They spread between flats through service gaps.
We treat cracks, skirting and service routes, and advise on reducing humidity.
Common silverfish come out at night, so many people only spot them when they switch on the bathroom light. In older homes, they hide in gaps behind skirting boards, under baths and around pipework, where it's damp and dark. Improving ventilation and sealing gaps makes a big difference.
