You might not notice them at first, but silverfish can quickly turn your peaceful home or office into an infested mess. These tiny, silver-grey insects thrive in dark, humid spaces and once they move in, they’re hard to kick out without professional help. That’s where Rafiki Pest Control comes in.
We offer professional silverfish control services across Kenya, designed to eliminate these pests at the source and protect your property long-term.
Why Silverfish Are a Problem
- Damage to property – Silverfish feed on paper, books, wallpaper, clothes, glue, and even electronics
- Fast breeders – A small infestation can turn into a serious problem in a short time
- Hard to spot – They are nocturnal and hide in tight spaces
- Sign of moisture problems – Their presence may indicate leaky pipes or poor ventilation
- Allergen source – Their shed skins and droppings can trigger allergic reactions
How Silverfish Get Into Your Space
- Through cracks in walls, windows, or doors
- Via cardboard boxes, books, and old papers brought from outside
- When you move into damp or poorly ventilated spaces
- Through plumbing gaps and wall voids
- Hidden in second-hand furniture or storage boxes
Common Hiding Spots

- Behind baseboards and wallpaper
- Inside wardrobes and cabinets
- In bookshelves, paper files, and electronics
