Silverfish are small, silvery grey insects that dart away when disturbed. They feed on paper, glue, starch and natural fibres, so they often show up in wardrobes, bookshelves, storage boxes and linen cupboards. They can live for months without food. In Woodridge, the humid summers suit them well, and roof voids in older homes can hold large numbers. We take the details and book a nearby independent crew who handles silverfish work across Logan.
Signs of silverfish include small holes or yellow marks on clothes, chewed edges on paper and books, and tiny droppings on shelves. You might also see them in the bath or sink at night. Stored photos, old documents and clothing kept in cardboard boxes in the garage are often the first things damaged. Because they hide during the day, a problem is often bigger than it looks.
The crew we book treats the roof void with a fine dust, since that is where many silverfish live, and then treats wardrobes, cupboards, skirting boards and other hiding spots inside. Reducing damp in the home helps too, so fixing leaks, running exhaust fans and letting air through wardrobes all make it harder for silverfish to settle in. Clear the wardrobe floors before the visit so the crew can reach the corners.
