Preparation and Advice

1) We advise you call your local pest control expert if you have a silverfish problem, we are highly skilled and understand where these insects are living, where they are breeding and the reason why you have them in your home or business.

2) Before we arrive to treat your silverfish problem we ask you to hoover clean all the floors and dust down and clean around skirting boards.

3) Damp, Moisture, Mould and Humidity are favourable conditions for a silverfish infestation. If this is the case we suggest using a dehumidifier and explore the reason for areas within the building that are damp, is this due to water damage?, from leaky pipes?, dripping taps?, or gaps in mastic sealant that is allowing water to run down walls ?
