Many customers ask why silverfish have chosen their specific property. The answer almost always relates to moisture and humidity. Silverfish require a relative humidity level of above 75% to thrive and reproduce. In Atherton, common culprits include leaking pipes, poor ventilation in bathrooms, or dampness in older Lancashire stone properties. They are often introduced into the home via cardboard boxes, second-hand books, or even through gaps in brickwork from the outside.Because they are nocturnal, you might only see them when you turn on a light late at night or when they get trapped in smooth surfaces like baths or sinks. If you see one, there are likely many more hidden in the wall voids or under floorboards. Our expert pest control Atherton team is trained to track these pests back to their source, treating the hidden clusters that DIY methods simply cannot reach. Don't wait for the damage to spread; call us on 01254 963737 for professional advice.
