Why Choose Us?
What Are Silverfish and Why Are They In Your Camelford Home?
Silverfish are small, wingless insects, typically between 10-15mm long, with a distinctive silvery-grey colour and a fish-like wiggling movement. They prefer moist, humid, and dark areas, which is why you'll often find them lurking in bathrooms, kitchens, basements, lofts, and wall cavities. These pests are attracted to starchy materials, feeding on a surprising range of items including paper, books, wallpaper paste, photographs, fabrics, and even dried foods. If your property in Camelford has areas of high humidity, leaky pipes, or poor ventilation, it could be creating the perfect harborage for a silverfish infestation.

Who We Are
Spotting the Signs of Silverfish Activity
Because silverfish are nocturnal and prefer to hide in cracks and crevices, you might not see the insects themselves very often. However, they do leave tell-tale signs of their presence. Look out for irregular holes, notches, or etchings on paper, books, wallpaper, or textiles. You might also find tiny, pepper-like droppings, or even shed skins, which are often silvery and translucent. Sometimes, a yellowish stain can appear on items they’ve been feeding on. If you're noticing any of these signs in your Camelford property, it's a strong indicator you have a silverfish problem that needs professional attention.

01822 668338Why DIY Silverfish Solutions Often Fall Short
Many people try to tackle silverfish with off-the-shelf sprays or traps. While these might deal with a few visible insects, they rarely address the full scope of an infestation. Silverfish are incredibly resilient and can reproduce quickly, laying eggs in tiny cracks and hidden areas that are impossible to reach without professional equipment and expertise. Their eggs can also be resistant to many DIY products. At Moorlander Pest Control, our BPCA affiliated technicians use professional-grade insecticides and targeted treatment methods that penetrate deep into harborage points, ensuring all life stages, from eggs to adults, are eradicated effectively.
