Our Happy Silverfish Pest Control Customers
"Every time I turned the light on in the bathroom, I'd see them scuttling away. BuzzKill treated the room and I haven't seen one since."
"Very professional service. They identified a small leak under the sink that was keeping the area damp—something we hadn't even noticed."
"Great communication and very fast service. They treated the loft where our old books were stored and saved them from being ruined."
Silverfish Pest Control Treatment
Residual Spraying
We apply a specialized insecticide around skirting boards, under sinks, and behind toilets where silverfish hide and travel during the night.
Insecticidal Dusting
We use fine dusts in wall cavities, under bath panels, and in other dry areas where liquid sprays might not be suitable or effective.
Damp Assessment
Silverfish cannot survive without high humidity. We help you identify the source of moisture, whether it's a leak, poor ventilation, or rising damp.
Advice on Dealing with Silverfish Pest Control
Reduce humidity
Use extractor fans in bathrooms and kitchens, and consider using a dehumidifier in damp areas to make the environment less hospitable for silverfish.
Fix plumbing leaks
Check under sinks and around toilets for even the smallest leaks. Even a tiny amount of moisture is enough to support a silverfish population.
Store paper in plastic
Keep important documents and old books in sealed plastic boxes rather than cardboard, which silverfish love to eat.
What They Can Do to Your Property
Damage to Documents
Silverfish feed on the starch in paper and the glue in book bindings, leading to irregular holes and 'thinning' of important documents and photographs.
Staining
In heavy infestations, silverfish can leave behind small yellow stains on fabrics, wallpaper, and synthetic fibers as they feed.
Psychological Distress
The sight of fast-moving, alien-looking insects scuttling across floors and walls, especially in clean bathrooms, is often very distressing for homeowners.
