How We Eliminate Silverfish
Professional, proven, and backed by our warranty
Harbourage Inspection
We identify where silverfish are living and feeding — typically in dark, humid areas like bathrooms, wardrobes, roof voids, and storage spaces.
Residual Spray Treatment
Long-lasting insecticide applied to skirting boards, carpet edges, behind furniture, and inside wardrobes where silverfish travel.
Roof Void & Subfloor Dusting
Insecticidal dust in roof voids and subfloor cavities where silverfish populations often originate — they migrate down into living areas.
Crack & Crevice Treatment
Targeted treatment in cracks around bathrooms, kitchens, and storage areas where moisture and harbourage combine.
Humidity Management Advice
Silverfish need humidity above 75% to thrive. We advise on ventilation improvements and moisture reduction to make your home less hospitable.
Signs You Need Silverfish Control
Watch for these warning signs around your property
Small holes and surface grazing on paper, books, wallpaper, and cardboard boxes
Yellow stains on fabric, especially stored cotton, linen, and silk garments
Tiny dark droppings that look like ground pepper in drawers, bookshelves, and storage areas
Seeing fast-moving silver insects in bathrooms, kitchens, or when moving stored boxes — especially at night
DIY vs Professional Treatment
Silverfish are incredibly persistent — they can live up to 8 years and survive months without food. Surface sprays kill individuals but populations in wall cavities, roof voids, and subfloors continue to reinfest. Professional treatment targets the source populations.
When Pests Are Most Active
Silverfish are active year-round but most visible during humid months (November-March) and after rain when moisture levels rise. They're nocturnal and fast-moving, so visible silverfish usually indicate a much larger hidden population.
Why You Shouldn't Wait
The longer you delay, the worse it gets
Silverfish don't bite or transmit diseases, but they destroy valuable items — books, photographs, documents, and clothing
Silverfish scales and droppings are allergens that can trigger asthma in sensitive individuals
Heavy infestations can damage wallpaper, stored documents, and natural-fibre textiles beyond repair
