Silverfish show up in damp, dark corners of Brisbane homes, moving through bookshelves, wardrobes, bathrooms and cupboards where old paper, cardboard or fabric gives them something to feed on. Silvery, quick moving insects seen at night near skirting boards or inside a linen cupboard are the usual sign, and they tend to be worse in homes with a damp subfloor or a bathroom that does not dry out well between uses. Call 07 3543 7769 and we will book a local team to take a look.
The crew we book will check bathrooms, laundries, wardrobes, bookshelves and any damp corners of the house, treating skirting boards, cupboard interiors and other spots silverfish are using to move and shelter. Reducing damp around the home, such as improving airflow in a bathroom or clearing gutters that overflow near a wall, can help alongside treatment, and the crew can point out any obvious problem spots while they are there. Storage boxes are better kept off the floor and away from external walls.
Because silverfish favour damp conditions, a Brisbane home with ongoing moisture issues may need a second visit down the track. The crew will give you a price before any work starts and can talk through what a repeat visit would involve if needed, along with simple changes that make the home less inviting for silverfish between visits.
