On the job

What to expect

Where silverfish are showing up

Tell us which rooms, cupboards or stored items are involved and whether you are seeing silverfish in more than one place.

Bathrooms and laundries

Tell us if you see them around sinks, cupboards, skirting, fixtures or other parts of these rooms.

Cupboards and storage

Show us the cupboards, boxes, shelving or stored items where sightings keep happening.

Books, paper and fabrics

Mention any marks or damage around books, stored paper, wallpaper, clothing or other fabrics.

Repeat sightings

Let us know when you see them, how often they appear and whether the problem has spread to other rooms.

Before you book

Tell us which rooms and items are involved

Silverfish can hide in small gaps around cupboards, storage areas and fixtures. Tell us the exact rooms and places where you are seeing them.

Let us know about any marks or damage around books, stored papers, wallpaper, clothing or other fabrics without assuming silverfish caused it.

Do not spray every cupboard or pull storage apart before we talk. We will explain what needs to be moved, cleaned or made easy to reach.

Silverfish are mainly a material-damage pest. Repeated activity can damage paper, books, wallpaper, fabrics and stored items, especially where shelter and moisture remain.

Common questions

Silverfish control questions

Tell us which rooms, cupboards or stored items are involved and whether the silverfish keep returning.

Can silverfish damage books or stored items?

Silverfish can damage paper, books, wallpaper and some fabrics. Tell us what you have noticed and which items or rooms are involved.

Where should I look for silverfish?

Check the places where you are already seeing them, such as bathrooms, cupboards, shelving, boxes or stored papers. You do not need to pull everything apart.

Do I need a photo?

No, but a clear photo can help. Tell us where you found it, when you see them and whether the problem keeps returning.

Should I empty cupboards before you arrive?

Not unless we ask you to. We will explain what needs to be moved, cleaned or made easy to reach before treatment.

Will one treatment be enough?

Established activity across several hiding places may need monitoring or another visit. The spread and access to cupboards, appliances or other harbourage decide the follow-up.
