Silverfish are small, grey, quick-moving insects that shy away from light. In Caboolture they are common in older timber homes, roof spaces, built-in wardrobes, linen cupboards and garages full of stored boxes. They feed on paper, glue, starch and natural fibres, so the first sign is often small holes in clothing, damaged book covers or marks on old photos and papers.
When you call, we ask where you have spotted them and whether anything has been damaged. The crew we book treats the roof void with a fine dust, since that is often where the main population lives, then treats wardrobes, cupboards, shelving, skirting boards and storage areas. They keep treatments away from clothing and stored belongings and will explain which areas to leave for a while.
Before the visit, clear the floors of wardrobes and cupboards that need treating and move stored boxes away from walls. Afterwards, store papers, photos and spare clothes in sealed plastic tubs rather than cardboard, air out wardrobes and run exhaust fans in bathrooms to bring humidity down. Silverfish treatment is often combined with a general treatment for cockroaches and spiders, which can save a second visit. If you have found damage to clothing, books or papers, keep a few examples aside to show the crew, as this helps them work out where the silverfish are feeding and how widespread the problem is. Older timber homes around Caboolture with large roof spaces often need more dusting than newer builds.
