Silverfish Control in Havering: what we see locally
Silverfish thrive in damp, humid rooms such as bathrooms, kitchens and utility rooms, and come out at night to feed on starch, paper and crumbs. In Havering's interwar and post-war homes, gaps behind baths and poorly ventilated bathrooms are common hiding places.
Grey silverfish, a newer species that can live in drier conditions, are increasingly found in new flats in Romford town centre and around Rainham and Beam Park. They spread between flats through gaps around service pipes. Our treatment targets the cracks and service routes they use.

- New flats in Romford and Beam Park: Grey silverfish spread through service risers.
