Wayne’s Pest Extermination helps Ottawa homes and businesses address silverfish activity around bathrooms, basements, laundry areas, storage spaces and other dark or moisture-prone locations.

Dark and Damp Areas Support Activity
Silverfish commonly hide around bathrooms, basements, laundry rooms, cupboards, storage areas and other protected spaces
