Inspection of likely harbourages
We check areas where silverfish typically hide, including gaps along skirting, under sinks, around cupboards, and behind items that limit airflow.
If you are seeing small, silvery insects that dart away when lights come on, 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney can help stop the infestation by addressing where silverfish are hiding and why the area stays suitable for them.
Silverfish often return when the underlying moisture and hiding places are not dealt with. Our inspection focuses on the conditions that keep them comfortable, then we treat accordingly.
How silverfish control works in Allambie Heights

Silverfish are commonly found in sheltered areas with suitable humidity, such as behind stored items, under sinks, around skirting gaps, and near bathrooms or laundries. During inspection, 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney checks the areas where activity appears most likely to be coming from.
Preparing the space helps inspection and treatment access. Follow the pre-visit guidance provided by 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney, including clearing or moving items only where instructed and making treated areas accessible.
Silverfish are generally more of a nuisance pest than a direct threat, but infestations are unpleasant and can spread through hidden harbourages. The safest approach is to treat the source conditions and follow the household safety instructions after the visit.
Many DIY products miss the hidden harbourages and do not address moisture or airflow issues. If the damp conditions or hiding places remain, silverfish can reappear even when you kill some of the insects you see.
The most helpful steps involve reducing moisture and limiting sheltered spaces. After your visit, use the prevention guidance from 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney, and keep an eye on the rooms where activity was first noticed.
