Silverfish Control in Redbridge: 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 apartment blocks in Ilford town centre. They spread between flats through service gaps. We treat the cracks and service routes they use.
In Redbridge's Edwardian terraces, common silverfish hide behind old baths and skirting boards in poorly ventilated bathrooms and come out at night. Improving ventilation and sealing gaps makes a big difference.
