Pest control for silverfish London

Silverfish exterminators can accurately identify silverfish and distinguish them from other similar pests, ensuring that the correct treatment plan is implemented.

Exterminators address not only the immediate infestation but also the underlying conditions that attract silverfish, such as excess moisture and food sources, providing a holistic solution.

Pest controllers offer guidance on how to prevent future silverfish infestations. This may include recommendations for improving ventilation, reducing humidity, and properly storing food and paper products.

Silverfish do not bite or transmit diseases to humans, so they are considered non-harmful. Although silverfish aren't dangerous, they are still pests, and if your property is infested, you should act immediately. Silverfish may not bite, but they can still cause problems, such as:

Damage to your property;
Contaminating your food;
Silverfish can damage books, stored food, and clothing;

Although professional treatments can be highly effective, maintaining good sanitation practices and addressing moisture issues in your home are crucial for long-term silverfish prevention.

What scent keeps silverfish away?

Silverfish are repulsed by the smell of citrus, cinnamon, and lavender. The best way to keep them away is to use essential oils to clean your home.
