Silverfish in Barking & Dagenham

Silverfish infestations are a known issue in Barking & Dagenham due to the area's a densely populated borough in east london with a mix of residential estates and industrial zones. The combination of east london density, older housing stock and proximity to urban amenities creates favourable conditions for silverfish activity.
