Finds the source
A thorough inspection identifies nesting sites in wall cavities, under floorboards and behind stored items that DIY treatments miss.
How silverfish infestations start and spread
Silverfish enter homes through gaps around pipes, under doors or in boxes and books moved inside. They prefer humid areas like bathrooms, laundries and under sinks. Signs include yellowish-brown scales, shed skins and irregular holes in wallpaper, books or clothing. Left untreated, they multiply quickly and damage stored items.
- Tiny, carrot-shaped insects with long antennae and three tail filaments
- Active at night, hiding in cracks and behind skirting boards during the day
- Feed on carbohydrates in paper, glue, fabrics and food residues
- Prefer temperatures between 22 and 27 degrees with high humidity
Why professional treatment is the best solution
Over-the-counter sprays rarely reach hidden harbourages and do not address the moisture conditions that attract silverfish. Bankstown Pest Control Pro uses inspection and targeted applications to break the life cycle and prevent reinfestation.
Targets the life cycle
Treatments are applied where eggs and nymphs congregate, not just where adults are seen.
Reduces moisture attraction
Advice on fixing leaks, improving ventilation and using dehumidifiers makes the environment less hospitable.
Protects stored items
Preventive measures include sealing entry points and using moisture-resistant storage to safeguard books, documents and fabrics.
Minimises chemical use
Spot treatments and non-repellent products reduce the amount of chemical needed while maximising effectiveness.
Long-term prevention
Follow-up guidance helps homeowners maintain conditions that discourage silverfish from returning.
