Silverfish are small, silvery, quick-moving insects that like dark, damp places and feed on paper, glue, starch and fabric. In Mitchelton, with humid summers and plenty of older timber homes, people often find them in wardrobes, bookshelves, bathrooms and stored boxes. Small holes in clothes, yellow marks on paper and tiny scales on shelves are common signs. Call us and we will give you upfront pricing.
The crew we book treats the areas where silverfish live and breed. That usually means the roof space, wardrobes, linen cupboards, bookshelves, under the sink and around the bathroom. A dust is puffed into the roof space and wall voids, where silverfish often nest, and a light surface spray or gel goes into cracks and cupboard edges inside.

Silverfish are often part of a general pest treatment, so if you are also seeing cockroaches or spiders, ask about combining them. Before the visit, empty the lower shelves of wardrobes and linen cupboards so the crew can reach the edges. Using plastic tubs instead of cardboard boxes for storage, and running an exhaust fan after showers, both help cut numbers.
Older timber homes in Mitchelton with big roof spaces tend to see silverfish first up there, in stored boxes and old paperwork left untouched for months. It helps to check those areas first. To book silverfish control, call 07 3543 7767 and we will arrange a nearby crew.
