About silverfish in London homes

Silverfish are small, wingless, silvery insects that love damp, warm places like bathrooms, kitchens and basements. They feed on starches in paper, books, wallpaper paste and food crumbs, and hide in cracks and gaps during the day.

Signs of silverfish

  • Small, fast-moving silver insects, often seen at night
  • Silverfish in baths, sinks, under mats or along skirting boards
  • Small holes or yellow marks on paper, books, wallpaper or photos
  • Tiny pepper-like droppings in cupboards and drawers

Silverfish Control: 5 frequently asked questions

Are silverfish harmful?

Silverfish don't bite or spread disease, but they can damage books, paper and wallpaper, and large numbers are unpleasant to live with.

Why do I have silverfish?

Silverfish thrive in damp, humid areas. Leaks, poor ventilation and condensation in bathrooms and kitchens all make homes more attractive to them.

Is silverfish treatment safe for pets and children?

Yes. We use approved products and will tell you how long to keep children and pets out of treated areas.

How do I stop silverfish coming back?

Reduce humidity by improving ventilation, fixing leaks and using extractor fans in bathrooms and kitchens.

How long does silverfish treatment take to work?

You should see fewer silverfish within a couple of weeks. Reducing damp at the same time gives the best results.

Dangers of silverfish: 5 reasons to get them treated

  1. Silverfish damage books, paper, photographs and wallpaper.
  2. They contaminate food in cupboards.
  3. They can damage fabrics, especially starched linen and cotton.
  4. Lots of silverfish often point to a damp or humidity problem in your home.
  5. They hide in cracks and breed out of sight, so numbers build up unnoticed.

5 interesting facts about silverfish

  • Silverfish belong to one of the oldest groups of insects, dating back hundreds of millions of years.
  • They can survive for months without food.
  • Silverfish can live for several years.
  • Unlike most insects, silverfish keep moulting throughout their adult lives.
  • They get their name from their silvery scales and fish-like, wriggling movement.
