Experts In Silverfish Control Across Bromley, South East London & Kent

What Are Silverfish?

Silverfish, despite the name, are not actually fish. Instead, they are tiny, wingless insects known for their rapid movement. As such, they often look like small flashes of silver, and are often found in bathrooms, kitchens and damp areas throughout your home.

While silverfish aren’t directly harmful to humans, they can cause distress and property damage, as they eat paper, wallpaper paste, book glue and dried foods. Therefore, a silverfish infestation can quickly cause issues with your home furnishings, books and contaminate food. For business owners, landlords and property managers, silverfish can damage your reputation for cleanliness and distress customers.

The Importance Of Professional Silverfish Pest Control

Silverfish

Getting rid of silverfish can be challenging, as they are very small and fast. Adult silverfish grow to just 12–19 mm in length, and they usually thrive in moisture, preferring to hide deep in crevices in damp walls, behind skirting boards or under appliances rather than being out in the open. They are also nocturnal, so usually come out at night in search of a food source.

While you may spot flashes of silver from time to time, the most common sign of silverfish is damage to books, wallpaper or contaminated food products. You may also see clusters of silverfish eggs in damp areas. These eggs are less 1mm in size and start white but become reddish brown before they hatch.

Once you notice signs of silverfish, you’ll most likely already have a serious silverfish infestation. DIY silverfish treatments are ineffective, so you need professional support to eliminate silverfish. Pest Relief Services can carry out silverfish pest control, clear away dead insects and other debris, then suggest preventative measures to reduce the chances of a future silverfish problem. Call 0800 0029 187 to book your silverfish treatment today.
