Silverfish favour damp, dark spots such as bathrooms, laundries, roof cavities and boxes of stored paper or books, and are often noticed at night when a light is switched on. In Melbourne, older homes with less ventilation under the floor or around window frames tend to see more activity than newer, well-sealed builds, particularly through the cooler, damper months of the year.
The crew we book checks the damp areas silverfish are drawn to, along with any stored items such as cardboard, paper or fabric where they can feed and shelter undisturbed. Treatment is planned around these spots rather than a general spray through living areas. Garages, storage rooms under the stairs and old wardrobes with stacked boxes are common hiding spots that are easy to overlook until numbers build up.
Tell us where you have seen silverfish and whether the area tends to be damp or poorly ventilated, and we will give you an upfront price for Melbourne before arranging a visit. If you have noticed damage to books, wallpaper or stored clothing, mention this too so the crew can check those items specifically. Bathrooms without an extractor fan and laundries that stay damp between loads are worth a mention as well, since these rooms tend to hold the most activity over time.
