Silverfish Control in Westminster: what we see locally
Silverfish thrive in damp basements, vaults and older bathrooms. Grey silverfish are increasingly found in new developments at Paddington Basin and Victoria.
We treat the cracks and service routes they use and advise on reducing humidity.
Common silverfish come out at night and hide in cracks and behind skirting boards during the day. In Westminster's Georgian and Victorian basements, damp walls and limited ventilation create ideal conditions, and they can damage books, papers and wallpaper.
