Find the activity and likely harborage
We check where sightings occur and trace the most likely hiding places, such as gaps, skirting edges, cupboards, and areas near damp surfaces.
Silverfish thrive where moisture and sheltered gaps meet, so you may notice them scurrying at night, especially along skirting boards, in bathrooms, laundries, and near dark storage areas. 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney inspects the source of the activity and treats the likely harborage so you can move from spotting to stopping.
If you are seeing silverfish more than once, it is usually a sign that the conditions they prefer are still present somewhere nearby.
What this service does
Silverfish control is more than removing what you spot. The goal is to find the hiding places and the moisture or shelter that keeps the problem going, then treat those areas and adjust household habits to prevent a quick return.
You might notice small, wingless grey insects moving quickly when lights go on, often in bathrooms, laundries, kitchens, or along skirting boards. Their presence can also show up as repeated sightings around closets, under sinks, behind appliances, or near dark paper and cardboard storage areas.

Professional service with helpful guidance on preventing repeat issues.
Silverfish often hide in gaps and other sheltered areas that are hard to see during regular cleaning. If the moisture or harbourage conditions remain, new silverfish can continue to appear. A targeted inspection helps identify those underlying spots.
Common places to check are bathrooms, laundries, under sinks, and areas near skirting boards or dark storage. Turn on lights and look for fast movement in the places you have previously noticed activity, especially in corners and behind appliances.
Follow the after-care steps you are given for reducing moisture and removing shelter that silverfish use. This helps avoid reactivating the same favourable conditions. If you are unsure about any step, ask during the visit for guidance specific to your setup.
Occasional continued sightings can happen while the problem settles, especially if harborage conditions remain or are newly discovered. If you keep seeing them, let 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney know what rooms are affected so the next step can be guided by the inspection findings.
Keep children and pets away from treated areas as directed during your service. This is part of safe household management while treatment works in the targeted harbourage points.
