Silverfish are small, silvery insects that like dark, humid spots. In North Lakes they often turn up in wardrobes, linen cupboards, bookshelves, storage boxes in the garage and bathrooms with poor airflow. They feed on starch, paper, glue and some fabrics, so the first sign is often small holes in clothes, damage to book spines or yellowish marks on stored paper.
When you call, we ask where you have seen silverfish and whether there is any damage, then book a nearby crew. The crew we book treats the roof void, where silverfish often live in large numbers, along with wardrobes, cupboards, skirting boards and any storage areas where you have spotted them. They usually use a fine dust in the roof and wall voids and a targeted spray inside, keeping clear of clothing and stored items.
Before the visit, empty the wardrobes and cupboards that need treating, or at least clear the floor of them, so the crew can reach the corners and shelves. Afterwards, running an exhaust fan in the bathroom, airing out wardrobes and storing papers and spare clothing in sealed plastic tubs rather than cardboard boxes helps keep numbers down. Silverfish are often part of a general treatment, so let the crew see any other pests you have noticed at the same time.
