Why Choose Us?
Signs of a Silverfish Infestation in Your Property
Silverfish, scientifically known as Lepisma saccharina, are nocturnal and masters of hiding, so you might not spot the insects themselves immediately. However, their presence often leaves tell-tale signs. Look out for irregular holes, notches, or etchings on paper, books, wallpaper, or even clothing. You might also find small, pepper-like droppings or shed skins, which are often found near cracks and crevices where they hide. Common areas where you might see them are bathrooms, kitchens, basements, lofts, or anywhere with a high level of humidity. If you’ve seen one, there are usually many more lurking out of sight.

Who We Are
Why Professional Silverfish Control is Essential
While there are many DIY remedies for silverfish, these often only address the visible insects, not the hidden population or their eggs. Silverfish are incredibly resilient; they can live for years and reproduce quickly, especially in humid environments. A professional silverfish treatment from Moorlander Pest Control targets these insects at all life stages, using specialised insecticides that are far more effective than anything available off-the-shelf. Our team also identifies and addresses the root causes of the infestation, such as excessive moisture, to prevent future problems. We don't just spray; we provide a comprehensive solution.

Silverfish are strongly attracted to damp and moist conditions. They thrive in humidity levels above 75%, which is why they are often found in bathrooms, laundry rooms, leaky basements, and poorly ventilated lofts. As part of our comprehensive service, our experts will provide practical advice on how to reduce moisture in your home. This might include improving ventilation, fixing leaky pipes, or using dehumidifiers. Addressing these environmental factors is crucial for long-term control and prevention, ensuring our treatment gives you lasting relief from these persistent insects.
