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