Silverfish Control in Hillingdon: 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.
Grey silverfish, a newer species that can live in drier conditions, are increasingly found in new developments in Hayes, including the former Nestlé and EMI sites, and around Uxbridge and West Drayton. They spread between flats through service gaps. We treat the cracks and service routes they use and advise on reducing humidity.
