Silverfish turn up in damp, dark spots around the home, often in bathrooms, laundries, roof spaces and stacks of old boxes or paper. In Chermside, they are a common call after a wet spell, when moisture levels inside the home rise enough for silverfish to settle in and start breeding behind skirting boards and inside cupboards. Silverfish can also damage books, wallpaper and stored clothing over time, which is often what prompts the first call to us.
The crew we book will check bathrooms, laundries, built-in robes and any areas where paper, cardboard or fabric is stored, since these materials are exactly what silverfish feed on. Homes across Chermside range from older brick houses with roof cavities to newer units with less roof space, and the treatment approach adjusts to suit the layout, paying particular attention to skirting boards, window frames and the back of cupboards where silverfish tend to hide during the day.
Reducing moisture around the home makes a real difference to how long a treatment holds. Fixing minor leaks, running exhaust fans during and after showers, and storing paper and cardboard off the floor all help keep numbers down once the crew has dealt with the current activity in your home.
