Silverfish Control in Wandsworth: what we see locally
Grey silverfish, which tolerate drier conditions, are very common in Wandsworth's new towers at Nine Elms, Battersea Power Station and along the riverside. They spread between flats through service gaps.
Common silverfish are found in damp bathrooms in older homes. We treat the cracks and service routes they use.
In older homes in Battersea, Tooting and Earlsfield, common silverfish hide behind baths and skirting boards in poorly ventilated bathrooms. Improving ventilation and sealing gaps makes a big difference.
