Silverfish tend to turn up in damp, quiet spots around a Brisbane home, such as bathroom cupboards, laundry corners, old cardboard boxes and bookshelves in a spare room. When you call about silverfish, we ask which rooms you have noticed them in and whether there is any dampness nearby, then book a local crew to treat the affected areas. Small holes chewed into paper, wallpaper or book covers are another sign worth mentioning when you call.
Because silverfish are drawn to moisture and paper-based materials, the crew will usually check bathroom and laundry cupboards, skirting boards and any stored boxes or books as part of the visit. In older Brisbane homes with less airflow in the bathroom or laundry, they may also point out simple changes that help keep dampness down between visits. Garages and under-house storage areas get a look too, since stacked boxes are a common spot for silverfish to settle in. Roof spaces above the bathroom sometimes need a check as well, particularly in older homes where steam from showers can linger and settle into the ceiling cavity over time.
