Silverfish Control in Waltham Forest: what we see locally
Silverfish thrive in damp bathrooms and kitchens. Grey silverfish are increasingly found in new developments around Blackhorse Road, Walthamstow town centre and Leyton.
We treat the cracks and service routes they use and advise on reducing humidity.
In older terraces, common silverfish hide behind baths and skirting boards in poorly ventilated bathrooms and come out at night. New flats near Blackhorse Road and Walthamstow Central can see grey silverfish spreading between homes through service gaps.
