Silverfish are small, wingless insects that are notorious for causing damage to your belongings, especially paper products, clothing, and other household items. For homeowners across the UK, silverfish infestations can be a significant nuisance. At PGH Pest Prevention, we offer professional, efficient, and affordable silverfish control solutions to help you protect your home and possessions from these resilient pests.
The Silverfish Problem: Issues Caused by Silverfish Infestations
Silverfish are attracted to damp, humid environments and can often be found in bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and attics. They cause several problems for homeowners:
Issues:
- Damage to belongings: Silverfish feed on starches and cellulose, which can be found in items such as books, photographs, wallpaper, and textiles. Their feeding habits can cause significant damage to these items.
- Allergies: Silverfish can trigger allergies in some individuals due to the proteins found in their fecal matter and shed skins.
Issues:
Spread of mould: Silverfish thrive in damp environments, which can contribute to mould growth in your home, leading to health issues and structural damage.
