Inspect the active areas
We look for common hiding spots and moisture sources, including behind skirting boards, under sinks, around plumbing penetrations, and inside or behind cupboard areas.
If you are spotting small, fast-moving silver-grey insects in kitchens, bathrooms, or behind skirting boards, 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney can help locate the source and stop recurring activity.
Silverfish usually appear where they can find moisture and starchy food sources. The most visible bugs are often only part of the problem, so the inspection matters.
What we do
Silverfish control aims to reduce the conditions that support their activity and to treat the areas where they hide and travel. When the problem is linked to persistent moisture or accessible food sources, ongoing control depends on addressing those conditions too.
You may notice silverfish when lights turn on at night, especially near bathrooms, laundries, and kitchens. They often run quickly over walls or tiles, hide in bookcases or pantry cupboards, and reappear if damp areas or clutter remain.
How it works
24 Hour Pest Control Sydney uses an inspection first, then a targeted plan based on the areas where silverfish are active. For full detail on what to expect, visit the service page linked below.
We look for common hiding spots and moisture sources, including behind skirting boards, under sinks, around plumbing penetrations, and inside or behind cupboard areas.
We assess how silverfish are getting around and where they likely shelter, so treatment focuses on more than just where you spot them.
We apply treatment to the areas most likely to support survival and movement, based on what the inspection shows during your visit.
You will receive practical steps to reduce moisture and remove food access, which helps discourage silverfish from returning.
These are the practical things that usually matter most for getting on top of silverfish activity.
Silverfish spend time in places you may not routinely check, like behind fixtures and within cabinet voids, especially where moisture builds.
Reducing moisture and starchy food sources in the areas they use can make the difference between one-off sightings and ongoing activity.
If your sightings are concentrated in specific rooms or times, that pattern helps guide where we inspect and what we address first.
We base the approach on what is happening in your property, not guesswork from a photo alone.
Silverfish control from 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney includes the actions below as part of an inspection-led treatment plan.
A good silverfish plan is about reducing the conditions that keep them coming back and treating the areas linked to ongoing activity.
By addressing hiding and movement areas, control focuses on reducing repeat activity where you notice silverfish most.
If moisture and accessible food sources are involved, reducing those supports longer-lasting results.
Practical guidance helps you take action between visits so you can see improvement faster.

Silverfish kept showing up in quiet areas near sinks and storage. The inspection helped us understand where they were coming from, and the treatment plus cleanup steps made a difference.
We kept seeing them at night near tiles and behind shelving. Once the damp and harbourage spots were addressed, the activity became much less frequent.
We appreciated the practical recommendations and the tidy finish after the visit.
The response was prompt and the treatment plan was easy to understand.
Professional service with helpful guidance on preventing repeat issues.
Silverfish commonly hide in damp, concealed areas such as bathrooms and around plumbing. They may also be found behind cupboards, inside storage spaces, or along skirting boards where moisture and shelter are available.
Single clean-ups do not always remove the moisture source or the hidden harbourage areas silverfish use. If conditions stay the same, silverfish can continue to reappear even after brief improvement.
Take note of which rooms you see silverfish in, where they appear, and what time of day it happens most often. You can also check for obvious damp areas around sinks, bathrooms, and storage to discuss during the visit.
Yes, changes that reduce moisture and make food sources harder to access support the outcome of silverfish control. Follow the after-visit recommendations from 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney for best results.
Occasional sightings can happen when the source conditions are still being resolved. If you keep noticing activity, 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney can help reassess the areas connected to the problem based on what you are observing.
