Find activity and harbourage
We identify where you’re seeing silverfish and check likely harbourage locations such as bathrooms, laundries, cupboards, and behind skirting or stored items.
Silverfish can show up in damp, undisturbed areas like bathrooms, laundries, cupboards, and behind skirting boards. 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney identifies where they’re coming from and helps you reduce the conditions that let them return.
Silverfish usually aren’t a one-off problem. They move between hidden harbourages and damp spots, so the quickest fixes miss the source.

Before the visit, it helps to note where you have seen silverfish and whether it happens at certain times. If you can, reduce clutter in the areas you want checked so inspection access is easier.
Silverfish control is typically focused on the areas connected to harbourage and activity. Treatment is planned around the findings from the inspection rather than applying effort everywhere.
Reducing humidity and making hiding places less available helps lower the chance of repeat activity. Your technician will provide practical steps based on where moisture and harbourage are found.
If you notice ongoing activity, it usually means the source conditions or harbourage may still be present. A reassessment can help identify where silverfish are re-invading and adjust the plan.
