Silverfish Control in Southwark: what we see locally
Silverfish thrive in damp, humid rooms, and Southwark's basement flats and older bathrooms suit them well.
Grey silverfish, which tolerate drier conditions, are increasingly found in new developments at Elephant and Castle, Canada Water and London Bridge. They spread between flats through service gaps.
In the Victorian terraces of Peckham, Camberwell and Nunhead, 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 light.
