Silverfish are small, silvery, wingless insects that dart for cover when disturbed. They love damp, humid spaces and feed on starches, paper, book bindings and stored fabrics. While harmless to people, they can damage belongings and almost always signal a humidity or damp issue. Knowing how to get rid of silverfish means treating the insects and the conditions that attract them.
We confirm the infestation and locate where silverfish are harbouring and feeding, typically in damp, dark spaces. We then treat these areas with professional-grade products and, just as importantly, advise on reducing the humidity and damp that allow silverfish to thrive. Treating the insects without addressing the conditions only invites them back.
Because silverfish are a moisture-driven pest, lasting silverfish control depends on tackling damp and improving ventilation. We explain exactly what is drawing them in and what will keep them away.
