Silverfish creeping around your home? These fast-moving, wingless pests can wreak havoc on your property, feeding on your books, paper, fabrics, and more! Silverfish are known for their silvery-grey appearance and their ability to thrive in damp, humid environments like kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. Left untreated, they can multiply quickly, causing significant damage.
At PEST-SHIELD, we offer top-rated silverfish control across Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham, and the surrounding North East areas. Our expert treatments are fast, effective, and designed to eliminate silverfish and prevent re-infestation. Don’t wait—protect your home today!
Silverfish can be sneaky, but if you know what to look for, you can catch them before they do damage. Here’s what to watch for:
Visible Silverfish: These pests love dark, damp areas. If you see them running around your kitchen, bathroom, or basement, it’s time to act!
Damaged Books and Paper: Silverfish feast on starchy substances, so if your books or papers are chewed up or have yellow stains, silverfish are likely the culprits.
Faecal Droppings: Tiny black or brown specks are a sure sign of silverfish activity.
If you spot any of these signs, it’s time to call PEST-SHIELD before the infestation gets worse!
To ensure the best results, follow these easy steps before our technician arrives:
1️⃣ Clear Kitchen Worktops: Dust-free surfaces allow us to apply the treatment effectively.
2️⃣ Empty Drawers & Cupboards: Remove items from drawers and cupboards, and give them a quick wipe or vacuum.
3️⃣ Vacuum Floors: Ensure all surfaces, including carpets, are clean so the treatment can be applied to the right spots.
4️⃣ Remove Leftover Food: This includes pet food. Nothing should be left out during treatment.
5️⃣ Cover Household Items: Protect cutlery, food, and personal items to avoid contact with the insecticide.
To make sure the treatment keeps working, follow these simple steps after we’ve treated your home:
✅ Let the Spray Dry: Do not clean or wipe up any puddles immediately after treatment.
✅ Increase Heat & Ventilation: Open windows and allow airflow to help the treatment work better and dry faster.
✅ Avoid Touching Treated Areas: Keep pets and children away until surfaces have dried. If insecticide touches your skin, wash it off immediately.
✅ No Cleaning or Vacuuming: For the next 2 months, avoid cleaning or vacuuming treated areas to allow the insecticide to continue working.
✅ Control Humidity: Silverfish love moist environments. Use a dehumidifier or install an extractor fan in damp areas to prevent future infestations.
At PEST-SHIELD, we use the latest residual insecticide sprays that remain effective for up to 3 months. Our treatments are carefully applied to targeted areas where silverfish are most active. As silverfish come into contact with the treated surfaces, they’re eliminated, helping to break the cycle of infestation.
The key to long-term prevention is addressing the humidity in your home. Our technicians will recommend simple changes to reduce moisture, such as using dehumidifiers or ensuring proper ventilation.
