Silverfish are small, shiny, carrot-shaped insects that come out at night to feed on paper, glue, starch and fabric. In Caboolture, humid summers and older homes with roof spaces full of stored boxes suit them well. People usually spot them in the bathroom, the linen press or a wardrobe, or notice ragged holes in books, photos, wallpaper and clothes. We give you upfront pricing and book a local crew to treat the home.
In many homes, the bulk of the silverfish live above the ceiling. The crew dusts the roof void, where the fine powder settles into insulation and timber joints, and treats wall cavities where access allows. Stored boxes in the roof are checked too. Inside, they target wardrobes, bookshelves, linen cupboards, bathroom and laundry cabinets and gaps along skirting boards. Clear the area under the manhole so the crew can get into the roof.

- Advice on damp, airflow and storage
Silverfish need moisture, so homes with poor airflow, leaking taps or damp laundries tend to have more. An infestation can build for months before anyone notices, because silverfish hide by day. Running exhaust fans, fixing drips and keeping stored papers and clothes in sealed tubs all make the home less inviting. Old cardboard boxes in the roof, garage or shed are a favourite breeding spot, so sorting through them before the visit helps.
Plenty of Caboolture households add silverfish control to a general pest spray, since the crew is already in the roof. To book, call 07 3543 7770. We will give you upfront pricing and line up a local team, same-day or next-day where the run allows.
