The pest that works in secret
Silverfish live on starch and cellulose — which in a home means clothing, linen, books, photographs, wallpaper and stored cardboard boxes. They love dark, humid, undisturbed places: wardrobes, bookshelves, storage rooms, roof voids and the boxes of keepsakes you haven't opened in years.
Because they're nocturnal and slow-breeding, silverfish damage builds unnoticed — until you pull out the winter coats or the wedding album and find the holes. A targeted treatment clears the population from the places they hide, before the damage spreads to things that can't be replaced.
Did you know?
Silverfish can live for several years and survive months without food — so an empty-looking wardrobe isn't a safe one. If the humidity and hiding spots remain, so do they.

How we treat silverfish
The treatment goes where they live — the dark, quiet, humid corners of the house.
Find the harbourages
Wardrobes, linen presses, bookshelves, storage areas, subfloor and roof void — we work out where the population actually lives.
Targeted treatment
Cracks, crevices, void spaces and storage areas treated with professional products that reach where silverfish hide and breed.
Roof void treatment
Roof voids are silverfish headquarters in many Sydney homes — warm, dark and undisturbed. A proper dusting up top cuts off the source.
Storage advice that protects the irreplaceable
We'll show you how to store the things that matter — sealed tubs beat cardboard, and a few humidity tweaks make storage areas far less inviting.

Frequently asked questions
Are silverfish harmful to people?
They don't bite or spread disease — the harm is to your belongings. Clothes, books, photos and documents are all on the menu, and the damage they do to sentimental items is the real cost.
Why do I keep seeing them in the bathroom?
Silverfish need humidity, and bathrooms, laundries and kitchens provide it. The ones you see there are usually travellers from a larger population living in your roof void, wardrobe or storage areas — which is where treatment focuses.
Will they go away if I just declutter?
Decluttering removes food and hiding spots, and it genuinely helps — but an established population also lives in wall voids and the roof, beyond the reach of a clean-up. Treatment plus better storage is the combination that ends it.
How should I store clothes and keepsakes afterwards?
Sealed plastic tubs rather than cardboard boxes, off the floor where possible, and avoid packing anything away damp. Your technician will give you specific advice for your storage areas.
