Silverfish control questions

Why do I only see silverfish at night?

Silverfish usually avoid bright light and tend to move in darker, sheltered areas. If you are seeing them after lights are turned on, it often points to active harbourages nearby.

Where in the home should I look first for silverfish?

Start around areas that feel dark and damp, such as bathrooms, laundries, under sinks, and inside cupboards. If you have noticed them along skirting edges or near stored items, those locations are important to mention during inspection.

What should I do before a silverfish control visit?

Follow the pre-visit checklist provided by 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney. In general, this means making access easier to key areas, handling items safely as directed, and clearing any obstacles that block treatment locations.

How can I reduce the chance of silverfish returning?

Because silverfish are linked to moisture and harbourage, reducing those conditions matters. After treatment, follow the after-visit instructions and apply practical steps for humidity and access in the areas identified during inspection.

Do I need to treat the whole house at once?

Not necessarily. The treatment plan is based on what the technician finds during inspection, including where silverfish activity is concentrated and what harbourages are supporting them.
