Silverfish Control Netherlands: Get rid of this damp pest once and for all

Are you suffering from silverfish and looking for professional silverfish control netherlands? Then you have come to the right place at Pest Control Janssen. After all, silverfish are a sign of moisture problems in your home - they only survive in humid environments with at least 75% humidity. That is why Ongediertebestrijding Janssen not only offers silverfish control netherlands, as well as advice on the underlying moisture problems for a final solution.

Why Silverfish Keep Coming Back

Many people try to control silverfish themselves with sprays or traps, but keep seeing them return. This is because the cause - moisture - is not addressed. Silverfish also lay their eggs in damp cracks where pesticides do not reach. In addition, they can survive for months without food, which makes them very persistent. These characteristics make professional silverfish control netherlands with moisture expertise essential for lasting results.

Our Integrated Approach

We combine direct control with moisture analysis and structural solutions. Indeed, this integrated approach ensures that silverfish are not only eliminated, but also do not return. Moreover, we work without toxic chemicals - silverfish are, after all, harmless and do not require harsh agents.

Why Choose Our Silverfish Control?

At silverfish control netherlands understanding moisture problems is crucial. This is why Janssen Pest Control stands out as a specialist:

Moisture expertise: The core of our approach

Our exterminators are trained in moisture detection and use professional measuring equipment to pinpoint the relative humidity and moisture spots in your home. Namely, we identify the source: leaking pipes, condensation, poor ventilation or rising damp. This analysis is essential because silverfish disappear once the humidity falls below 75%.

Environmentally friendly control methods

Silverfish are harmless to humans and pets - they do not bite and do not transmit diseases. This is why we use environmentally friendly methods without harsh chemicals:

  • Decoy traps: Special bait traps that attract and catch silverfish without poison.
  • Diatomaceous earth: Natural powder that damages the skin of silverfish, drying them out. Completely safe for humans and pets.
  • Moisture absorbers: Strategically placed absorbers to locally reduce humidity.

Structural Solutions for Final Results

After control, we advise on ventilation improvement, insulation and moisture control. If required, we can work together with moisture specialists for major moisture problems. This structural approach prevents silverfish from returning and also improves the indoor climate of your home.

Transparent Communication

We explain in detail why you have silverfish and what you can do yourself. No vague stories or unnecessary treatments - only honest advice aimed at a definitive solution. This transparency is what our customers value most.

Our Approach: Step-by-step silverfish control

We use a proven method at silverfish control netherlands which addresses both symptoms and cause:

Step 1: Moisture inspection and analysis

Our specialist inspects your home with professional moisture meters. We measure the relative humidity in all rooms and look for moisture spots in walls, ceilings and floors. We also identify the most active areas where silverfish reside: bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, basements and crawl spaces. This data determines our treatment strategy.

Step 2: Identification of moisture sources

We are looking for the causes of the moisture:

  • Leaking pipes, taps or drains
  • Condensation due to poor ventilation
  • Rising moisture from the ground
  • Leaks in roof or facade
  • Bathroom without adequate extraction
  • Tumble dryers without outlet

This analysis is crucial because control without a moisture approach is always temporary.

Step 3: Instant silverfish control

We place bait traps at strategic locations where silverfish are active. We also apply diatomaceous earth in cracks, seams and behind skirting boards where silverfish hide. This natural powder kills silverfish within a few days without risk to pets or children. Then, if necessary, we place moisture absorbers in problem areas.

Step 4: Moisture advice and prevention

You will receive comprehensive advice on:

  • Improve ventilation (mechanical or natural)
  • Repair or have leaks repaired
  • Bathroom use (open windows, run extractor longer)
  • Laundry drying (preferably outdoors or with drain)
  • Optimising heating and insulation

We give realistic advice tailored to your home and budget.

Step 5: Monitoring and Aftercare

After 2-4 weeks, we come back for a check-up visit. We inspect whether the silverfish have disappeared and measure humidity again. If necessary, we place additional traps or advise on additional humidity measures. With complete elimination and correct humidity (<75%), the infestation is permanently eliminated.

Frequently asked questions about Zilvervisjes Bestrijding Nederland

Do you have questions about silverfish control? Below you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions. Is your question not listed? Feel free to contact with us.

No, silverfish are completely harmless to humans and pets. They do not bite, sting or transmit diseases. However, they can cause damage to paper, books and textiles. In addition, they are an indicator of moisture problems in your home, which can have health risks (mould).
Silverfish return when the moisture source is not addressed. This is because they can only survive at a minimum of 75% humidity. If you only control silverfish without reducing the moisture, you will keep creating ideal living conditions. This is why our approach combines control with moisture analysis and advice.
If done correctly, you will see much less silverfish within 1-2 weeks. Complete elimination usually takes 3-4 weeks because eggs and young silverfish need time to come into contact with the powder. However, if the moisture source is not addressed, new silverfish will continue to develop.
Temporary reduction is possible with traps and sprays from the shop. For permanent results, however, you need professional moisture analysis to address the cause. Moreover, DIY methods often miss the hiding places where silverfish hide. Professional silverfish control nederland therefore solves both the symptom and the cause.
It depends on the cause. Simple measures such as better ventilation cost little to nothing. Repairing leaks costs €100-€500 depending on the job. Major damp problems such as rising damp can cost several thousand euros. We always recommend the simple, low-cost measures first before recommending large investments.
