Silverfish thrive in dark, humid spaces — bathrooms, cupboards, wardrobes, bookshelves and roof voids. They feed on starches and cellulose, quietly damaging books, photos, wallpaper, cardboard and clothing over time.
We treat the harbourage zones where they live and breed, including the roof void, and leave a residual barrier so they don't simply drift back from elsewhere in the house.
