Silverfish Control in Lambeth: what we see locally
Silverfish thrive in damp, humid rooms, and Lambeth's basement flats and older bathrooms suit them well.
Grey silverfish, which tolerate drier conditions, are increasingly found in new towers at Vauxhall and Waterloo. They spread between flats through service gaps. We treat the cracks and service routes they use and advise on reducing humidity.
In Lambeth's Victorian terraces, common silverfish hide behind old baths and skirting boards in poorly ventilated bathrooms, especially in basement flats. They come out at night, so many people only see them when they switch on the light.
