Silverfish control

Sokeritoukka

If you see fast-moving, silver-coloured insects in your bathroom or kitchen, they are often silverfish

Silverfish thrive in humid environments and are mostly active at night. If you see them indoors, it is not an isolated sighting but a sign of conditions where they can live.

In many cases, they appear only occasionally at first, but the number increases over time.

Where silverfish come from

Silverfish rarely come from outside, but are already present inside the building.

In practice, they thrive in bathrooms, kitchens and other areas with moisture and sheltered hiding places. They are commonly found in cracks, near floor drains and behind skirting boards.

Why silverfish keep coming back

This is one of the most common situations we see in real cases.

Visible insects can disappear quickly, but the underlying conditions remain.
That’s why silverfish start appearing again after a while.

In silverfish control, the conditions are key

Removing individual insects is not enough.

If moisture, structures and hiding places are not addressed, the problem will continue. Control is therefore based on managing the entire environment.

When control is needed

If sightings occur regularly in the same areas, the issue is no longer isolated.

Especially when they repeatedly appear in bathrooms or kitchens, the situation should be addressed early.

How the control process works

The process begins by assessing the extent of the infestation.

Areas where silverfish move and hide are then treated.
At the same time, guidance is given on how to change conditions so the problem does not return.

Not sure about the species?

If the insect is larger, appears in dry areas or outside wet rooms, it may be a long-tailed silverfish.
