Silverfish Control
Clear silverfish from bathrooms, kitchens and damp corners
Silverfish are the small, wingless, silver insects that dart from under the bathmat or out of a cupboard the moment you turn the light on. They thrive on damp and feed on the starches in paper, wallpaper paste, packaging and stored food. They are harmless but persistent, and because they hide deep in cracks and voids, lasting control means treating the harbourage and tackling the damp that sustains them.
