Silverfish are small, silvery insects that dart for cover when you open a wardrobe or lift a storage box. They feed on paper, glue, fabric, starch and dust, and they like dark, humid spots such as wardrobes, linen cupboards, bookshelves, bathrooms, garages and roof voids. We take bookings for silverfish control across North Lakes and book a nearby independent crew to treat where they are living.
The crew we book asks where you have seen silverfish and what damage you have noticed, such as small holes in clothing, yellow marks on fabric or chewed paper and cardboard. They then treat wardrobes, linen cupboards, bookshelves, bathrooms and the roof void, where silverfish often breed out of sight before moving down into the rooms below.
- Wardrobes, linen cupboards and drawers
- Bookshelves, paperwork and storage boxes
- Bathrooms, ensuites and laundries
- Roof voids and wall cavities
- Garages full of cardboard boxes
The humid Moreton Bay summers suit silverfish, and homes in North Lakes that have recently moved in, with boxes still stacked in the garage or spare room, often see them. Silverfish can live a long time without food and hide in tiny cracks, so a couple of sightings often means more out of sight. Moving boxes off the floor, using plastic tubs and running bathroom fans after showers all help after the visit. The crew can also check the garage and spare rooms where boxes are stored, since that is often where silverfish numbers build up first before spreading into wardrobes and linen cupboards.
You get upfront pricing over the phone before anyone is booked. Silverfish can be treated in the same visit as ants or cockroaches. Call 07 3543 7768 to book silverfish control.
