Silverfish favour damp, dark spots around Sunshine Coast homes such as bathrooms, laundries, book cupboards and storage boxes, and can damage paper, fabric and some packaging over time. They are more active at night, which is often why they go unnoticed until numbers build up. Older homes with timber fittings, high humidity or limited airflow under the house tend to see more silverfish activity than newer, well-ventilated builds.
A crew will check moisture-prone areas such as bathrooms, laundries and under-house storage, along with bookshelves and cupboards where paper and cardboard are kept. Treatment usually targets skirting boards, cracks and cupboard interiors where silverfish shelter during the day. Wardrobes, linen presses and stored boxes in the garage or shed are also worth a look, since silverfish can move between these spots over time.

Reducing dampness around the home, such as fixing leaking taps or improving airflow in bathrooms, helps keep silverfish numbers down between visits. Roof voids and subfloor vents are checked too, since poor airflow in these spots is a common reason silverfish keep coming back to the same part of a house.
