Silverfish Control in Merton: what we see locally
Silverfish thrive in damp, humid rooms such as bathrooms and kitchens, and come out at night to feed on starch, paper and crumbs.
Grey silverfish, which tolerate drier conditions, are increasingly found in new flats around Wimbledon town centre, Colliers Wood and Morden. They spread between flats through service gaps. We treat the cracks and service routes they use and advise on reducing humidity.
In older homes, common silverfish hide behind baths and skirting in poorly ventilated bathrooms.
