Finds the source
A thorough inspection locates nests in wall cavities, under flooring and behind skirting boards where silverfish breed and feed undetected.
How silverfish infestations start and spread
Silverfish thrive in damp, dark spaces where they feed on starches and sugars in paper, glue and fabrics. They often enter homes through gaps around pipes or under doors, then multiply quickly in bathrooms, laundries and storage areas. Left unchecked, they cause visible damage to books, wallpaper and clothing.
- Small, carrot-shaped insects with a silvery, fish-like appearance
- Active at night, hiding in cracks and crevices during the day
- Feed on carbohydrates in paper, glue, fabrics and some foods
- Prefer humid environments like bathrooms, basements and kitchens
Why targeted silverfish treatment works

Residual barriers and environmental advice reduce moisture and entry points, making your home less attractive to silverfish.
Minimal disruption
Methods are applied to targeted areas, so you can continue using most of your home as normal during and after treatment.
Safe for households
Products are selected and applied to minimise risk to children and pets when used as directed.
Long-term protection
Follow-up recommendations help maintain a silverfish-free environment, reducing the need for repeated treatments.
