Silverfish turn up in damp, dark corners of a Gold Coast home, such as bathrooms, laundries, roof voids and cupboards where old paper, cardboard or fabric has sat undisturbed for a while. They are usually spotted at night, darting away when a light goes on or a box is moved.
When you call, we ask which rooms are affected and whether the home has any damp or poorly ventilated areas, since silverfish are drawn to moisture as much as to paper and fabric. The crew we book treats bathrooms, laundries, roof voids, cupboards and skirting boards, along with any areas where books or papers are stored.
Improving airflow in bathrooms and laundries, and clearing out old boxes and papers from cupboards, makes a Gold Coast property less appealing to silverfish over time. The crew we book can point out damp spots or storage habits worth changing at your Gold Coast property while they are on site. Older books, photo albums and stored documents are worth mentioning when you call, since these are common hotspots for the crew to check. If your home has had damp issues in the past, mention this when you call, since silverfish often return to the same spots once conditions suit them again. A second look a few months later can help confirm the change has worked.
