Inspection and problem mapping
We check likely harbourage areas such as under sinks, around plumbing and bathroom fittings, behind pantry items, and along skirting boards to understand why silverfish are active.
If you are seeing silver, wingless insects in cupboards or along skirting boards, 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney can help you identify why they are getting in and treat the areas they use.
Silverfish often survive by feeding on damp, starchy materials and hiding in tight gaps. Getting rid of visible insects alone usually does not stop repeat activity.
What we do for silverfish problems
24 Hour Pest Control Sydney provides silverfish control for homes and businesses in Lewisham. The goal is to reduce the insects you are seeing and address the conditions that support them, so the activity does not return quickly.
Silverfish are pale, flat, wingless insects that move quickly when disturbed. In many homes they are spotted near sinks, bathrooms, laundries, pantries, or along skirting boards, and you may also notice small dark specks or shed skins near hiding spots.
How the visit works
Every Lewisham silverfish job starts with an inspection so the treatment matches the problem. We then apply treatment to the areas silverfish use, and we finish by outlining the simple changes that help stop re-infestation.
We check likely harbourage areas such as under sinks, around plumbing and bathroom fittings, behind pantry items, and along skirting boards to understand why silverfish are active.
Based on what we find, we treat the nesting and hiding areas rather than only the insects you can see. The goal is to reduce activity at the source.
You get practical steps to reduce moisture and remove attractants, such as improving ventilation, drying damp areas, and storing vulnerable materials appropriately.
If you still notice activity after treatment, contact 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney so we can advise what to adjust based on your site conditions.
This service is built around removing the conditions silverfish depend on, not only the visible insects.
We prioritise the gaps, seams, and nearby surfaces where silverfish are most likely hiding, based on the inspection.
We look for damp areas and places the insects can enter or shelter, so prevention steps focus on what matters most.
You receive clear instructions on reducing moisture and limiting suitable food sources in indoor areas.
The guidance on preparation and prevention is grounded in common silverfish behaviour and typical indoor infestation patterns.
Here is what the silverfish control visit typically includes.

Targeting harbourage helps reduce the number of silverfish you see around cupboards, skirting boards, and damp areas.
Moisture and attractant control reduces the conditions that support silverfish after treatment.

Professional service with helpful guidance on preventing repeat issues.
Silverfish commonly hide in sheltered areas near moisture, such as around sinks, bathrooms, laundries, and along skirting boards. They can also be found near cupboards, pantries, and stored items where conditions are suitable.
Clear access to cupboards, drawers, and storage areas so the inspection can check gaps and harbourage points. If you have items stored close to skirting boards or damp zones, move them enough to allow a proper look.
You do not need to do a deep clean that disrupts access, but removing clutter from key areas helps the technician inspect properly. Focus on making cupboards and damp-adjacent areas reachable, and follow the after-visit steps you are given.
Silverfish may take time to reduce if harbourage or moisture is still present. If you keep seeing them, contact 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney so we can review the site conditions and advise next steps based on what was found.
The most effective prevention steps usually focus on reducing dampness and limiting suitable food sources. Improving ventilation, drying moisture sources, and storing vulnerable items properly can make a noticeable difference.
