Silverfish Pest Control

Why choose Able Group for silverfish pest control?

Need Help with Silverfish Pest Control?

Silverfish are small, silvery-grey insects with a long, slender, and slightly flattened body that tapers at the end, resembling a teardrop. Their name comes from their shiny, metallic scales and the way they move in a quick, wiggling motion, like a fish swimming.

Though small and harmless to humans, it can be unnerving to share a space with these damp-loving creatures, and they can sometimes cause damage.

If you have noticed silverfish in bathrooms, kitchens or other areas, you could have a problem. We understand the nuisance that such infestations can cause in your home or business and our expert Silverfish Pest Control at Able Group are here to help.

Trusted silverfish treatment

Silverfish are a common pest in homes and businesses, particularly in damp or humid environments like bathrooms, and kitchens. While they’re not directly harmful to humans, their presence can lead to noticeable damage over time, especially if the silverfish infestation is particularly severe. Our team specialises in removing silverfish quickly and effectively, ensuring your property is pest-free.

Managing silverfish infestations

Silverfish reproduce quickly, and their nocturnal habits can make them hard to detect. Early intervention can stop them from spreading and causing further damage. We locate and treat their hiding spots, ensuring the infestation is eliminated at its source.

Preventing silverfish infestations
Control humidity
Silverfish thrive in moist environments. Use dehumidifiers or improve ventilation in areas like bathrooms and kitchens to make your property less inviting to them. Try to open windows for a bit after having a shower or cooking, and make sure you use the bathroom fan.
Seal entry points
Check for cracks, gaps, and crevices in walls, floors, and skirting boards. Sealing these can reduce silverfish hiding places and prevent them from entering your home.
Protect belongings
Store books, papers, cereals, and fabrics in airtight containers. Avoid leaving cardboard boxes, magazines, or piles of paper in damp, dark spaces, as these attract silverfish. General maintenance tasks such as regular vacuuming can deter pests like these.
Signs of a silverfish infestation
Damage to paper and fabrics
Silverfish can be elusive, but things such as irregular holes or chewed edges on books, wallpaper, and clothing are clear signs of silverfish feeding. They also feed on starches and items including grains, vegetables, and fibres.
Shed skins
As silverfish grow, they shed their skins. These tiny, translucent pieces are often found near their hiding spots. Look in corners of rooms such as bathrooms and kitchens, or other potentially damp areas like garages.
Droppings
Silverfish droppings resemble small black specks, similar to pepper flakes, and are often mistaken for dirt. They can be found near infested areas.
Silverfish sightings
Known for their silvery-grey colour and rapid movements, silverfish are nocturnal and may occasionally be seen darting across floors or walls, especially in damp areas like bathrooms.
