SILVERFISH CONTROL
Don't just treat the silverfish. Find out why they're there.
Silverfish are small, fast-moving insects that are often associated with warm, humid and damp conditions. Finding the occasional silverfish doesn't necessarily mean you have a major infestation, but repeated sightings can indicate that conditions are allowing them to thrive.
Our approach combines appropriate treatment with practical advice to help you understand the problem and reduce the conditions that may be contributing to ongoing activity.

UNDERSTANDING SILVERFISH
Treatment is only part of the solution.
Silverfish are primitive insects that thrive in damp, humid environments. They are often found in bathrooms, kitchens, and basements where moisture levels are high, feeding on starchy substances like paper, glue, and crumbs. While they don't pose a direct health risk to humans, their presence can be distressing and they can cause damage to household items over time.
At Powell Pest Control in East Sussex, we understand that simply applying a treatment isn't enough for long-term control. Addressing underlying conditions, such as poor ventilation, minor leaks, or high humidity, is essential to prevent silverfish from returning. Our experts provide targeted treatments alongside practical recommendations to help you maintain a silverfish-free home.
