Inspection of the likely harbourage
We look for signs of infestation and trace activity back to areas with moisture and cover, such as around plumbing, wet zones, and undisturbed gaps.
When silverfish are multiplying indoors, you may find them where moisture gathers. 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney targets the areas they use to hide, feed, and breed, so your home or workplace is less hospitable.
Silverfish often look like a small problem until you notice them repeatedly. If you are seeing activity indoors, controlling the environment and treating the right hiding places matters.
What to expect when you call
Silverfish thrive in damp, undisturbed spaces. The service combines an inspection to locate harbourage, treatment in those areas, and simple steps you can take after the visit to reduce moisture and hiding spots.
You may spot silverfish scurrying along skirting boards, behind cupboards, under sinks, or in laundry and bathroom areas. In quieter moments, they can appear in dark corners, on shelves, or near moisture sources where damp builds up.
From booking to aftercare

Professional service with helpful guidance on preventing repeat issues.
Silverfish typically seek damp, sheltered spaces like behind skirting boards, under sinks, around plumbing, and in dark corners. If you are seeing them around moisture-related rooms, those areas are a strong place to start.
