Inspection and site check
We assess the rooms where you are seeing activity and look for damp harbourages in accessible gaps and around moisture sources.
Seeing small, silvery insects scuttle out at night or when you open cupboards is a sign silverfish have found nearby harbourage points. 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney can inspect and treat the areas most likely keeping them inside.
Silverfish tend to thrive where it is cool, dark, and slightly damp. The key is finding the harbourages, not just cleaning up the insects you see.
What to know before treatment
In homes, silverfish often persist because moisture, food sources, and cluttered, dark gaps give them steady shelter. Even if you remove the ones you notice, the harbourages can remain active, especially in hidden wall voids, behind skirting, under sinks, or in laundry spaces.
Silverfish are small and pale to silvery, often with a tapered body and quick, darting movement. Many people first notice them near sinks, in bathrooms, or when opening cupboards at night.
How our control service works
24 Hour Pest Control Sydney inspects your property to locate where silverfish are sheltering and where conditions are supporting them. We then recommend the most suitable treatment plan, along with clear steps for you to take before and after.
We assess the rooms where you are seeing activity and look for damp harbourages in accessible gaps and around moisture sources.
We map likely shelter points and movement areas so the treatment targets what is driving the infestation.
You will receive preparation advice so we can access key zones and work safely around people and pets in the home.
We share practical steps to support the results, including cleaning and monitoring so you can spot whether activity reduces.
Silverfish control is not only about what we do during the visit. Your prep and follow-through help reduce the conditions that keep them returning.
Silverfish are often confused with other small indoor pests. We focus on the specific signs and hiding places linked to silverfish.
Because silverfish favour damp, we check likely moisture areas and the nearby gaps where they hide.
We guide you on what to move or cover before we treat, so application areas are accessible.
These points help explain what we consider during an on-site inspection and why prep matters.
Your service includes an assessment and a treatment focus based on what we find during inspection.
The goal is to reduce activity by treating the harbourages and the conditions supporting silverfish in your home.
Fewer silverfish should be seen as hidden shelter is addressed.
Aftercare focuses on reducing moisture and simplifying cleaning in the zones most likely to harbour them.
An inspection helps pinpoint the most relevant areas rather than treating randomly.

We kept seeing small silvery insects around our bathroom and laundry. The inspection helped us understand where they were coming from, and we got clear prep and aftercare advice.
After treatment, the sightings reduced and we followed the guidance on moisture and cleaning. We appreciated the focus on the hiding spots rather than just wiping up what we found.
Activity seemed worse at night and when we opened cupboards. The visit was organised around access, and the notes we received made it easier to keep track of changes.
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 are commonly found near damp or humid areas and in dark, sheltered gaps. People often notice them near bathrooms, laundries, kitchens, and behind skirting, cupboards, or under sinks.
Cleaning can remove the ones you spot, but the harbourages that keep them active can remain. Moisture, clutter, and hidden gaps can continue to support silverfish, so inspection and targeted treatment matter.
You will be given preparation advice based on your home and the areas being inspected. In general, it helps to clear access to likely hiding spots and follow any instructions given around food storage and household members.
Follow the aftercare steps you are provided, including any guidance on cleaning and monitoring. If you see activity continuing, keep notes of where it appears so the focus can be reviewed if needed.
We base the treatment focus on what we find during the inspection, including the rooms where you report activity and the damp or sheltered zones we can access. Treating the harbourages is usually more effective than targeting only the insects you see.
If you are seeing silverfish in Woolloomooloo, book an inspection with 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney so the treatment targets the harbourages behind the activity.
