Silverfish Pest Control
Silverfish Pest Control
Silverfish are pests that thrive on humid conditions and can often be found in your bathroom, loft or kitchen. They typically like dark and isolated places in your home – so it’s important to check these areas regularly and give a specialist a call if required.
Silverfish get their name from their silvery colour and fish-like movements. Although they aren’t dangerous to humans, people see them as a nuisance and when there’s a large number of them they are very unhygienic.
It’s common to find a few silverfish dotted around in isolated areas of the house and this on it’s own, is not a problem. However, silverfish breed very easily and if the problem is not eradicated quickly and effectively, it can lead to an infestation which isn’t a pleasant experience.
Naturally, silverfish are always looking for food and they feed off of glucose and sugary foods. It’s important to check regularly in your kitchen cupboards and other places where food is stored as these are at risk of contamination.
How do we get rid of silverfish?
In order to eradicate silverfish from your home, we have to deal with the root cause which is often the damp in your house. There’s many reasons as to why damp occurs and can always be different in each home. However, common reasons are poor ventilation, broken pipes and damage to your roof. If these problems are resolved, then your silverfish problem will be completely eradicated.
At Shawyers, we use dehumidifiers and special heaters to ensure your damp problem is contained and the route problem is tackled. We’ll then crack on with our pest control methods to ensure that your silverfish are removed from your domestic or commercial property.
