Silverfish are small, grey, fish-shaped insects that like dark, damp places. In Ipswich, they are common in older timber homes, roof spaces, wardrobes, bookshelves and bathrooms. They move quickly and hide as soon as a light comes on. You might find them in a stack of old papers, notice small holes in clothes or book covers, or see yellow stains and tiny droppings on stored items.
We take your call, give you upfront pricing and book a nearby crew. The crew we book treats the roof space, where silverfish often breed, with a fine dust that settles into the insulation and gaps. Inside, they treat wardrobes, cupboards, skirting boards and wet areas with a surface spray, taking extra time around bookshelves and storage. Clearing wardrobe floors before the visit helps the crew reach the corners.

Silverfish feed on starch, glue, paper and fabric, so they can damage books, photos, wallpaper and clothes over time. Damp is what draws them in. Repairing leaks, running exhaust fans and airing out wardrobes all help keep numbers down after the treatment. Storing papers and clothes in sealed tubs rather than cardboard boxes helps too. Silverfish are often treated as part of a general pest spray as well.
