Inspection and problem areas
We check the rooms and surfaces where silverfish are most likely hiding, based on your sightings and visible signs.
Silverfish hide in damp, dark spaces and can show up as silvery insects near skirting boards, cupboards, and bathrooms. 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney helps you locate likely harbourage points, treat the infested areas, and reduce the conditions that bring silverfish back.
If you have noticed fast-moving, silvery insects at night, or small clusters in cupboards or laundry areas, targeted silverfish control can stop the problem from spreading through adjoining rooms.

Silverfish often thrive in humid, enclosed areas and can become harder to manage once they spread behind skirting boards, inside cupboards, or along cracks. 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney inspects the areas most likely to be harbourage, then treats the problem zones with a targeted approach. For service details, see the service page.
You may spot silver-grey, wingless insects scuttling quickly when lights come on, especially along skirting boards or near damp corners. Common sightings are in bathrooms, laundries, under sinks, or inside cupboards where humidity builds up.

Here are common situations homeowners ask about when silverfish are showing up indoors.
I kept seeing small silvery insects around cupboards and the laundry area. The inspection helped explain where they were coming from, and the aftercare steps made it easier to keep things under control.
Silverfish were appearing more often after I noticed moisture near a sink. The team focused on the areas they identified and gave clear prep and safe re-entry instructions.
I could tell they were hiding because they were mostly active when the lights came on at night. The visit included guidance on how to prepare and what not to disturb after treatment.
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 often hide in damp, dark areas where they can avoid light and disturbances. Common spots include bathrooms and laundries, under sinks, and inside cupboards near moisture-prone areas.
Silverfish are more active when it is dark, so you might see them more when lights are turned off or during nighttime activity. When daytime visibility is limited, they can still be present in sheltered areas.
You will be given prep instructions on what to move, cover, or secure so the technician can access the relevant zones. Following the directions helps ensure the areas behind fixtures, gaps, and enclosed spaces can be treated.
Yes. You will be advised to keep children and pets away from treated areas until it is safe to re-enter, and to follow the aftercare guidance provided after the visit.
If activity returns, it usually indicates there may still be harbourage or conditions supporting silverfish. Contact 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney so the situation can be reassessed and the plan adjusted based on what is happening now.
