Report what you are seeing
Tell us where the activity happens, for example cupboards, wet areas, under sinks, or behind skirting, and when you notice it most.
If you are seeing silver, wingless bugs that scatter when you turn on the light, you may have a silverfish problem. 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney can help address the hiding places and moisture conditions that suit them.
Silverfish prefer dark, damp areas, so the most visible activity is often just the tip of the problem.
How silverfish control works
Silverfish control is about finding where they hide, then treating those areas while you also reduce the conditions that keep them coming back. For details specific to your property, see the service page and discuss what you are noticing with 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney.
Silverfish are small, silver-grey insects that move quickly across walls or floors when lights come on. They are often spotted near bathrooms, laundries, kitchens, closets, or behind baseboards, especially where humidity stays high.
What happens during treatment
24 Hour Pest Control Sydney uses a practical, inspection-led approach to silverfish. We then focus on the specific refuges and environmental factors linked to silverfish activity in your space, so you know what to do between visits.

We look for gaps, clutter zones, and damp-prone areas that silverfish use for shelter and feeding.
We apply treatment to the targeted areas that support silverfish, focusing on where they spend time rather than only where you spot them.
We advise you how to prepare items before treatment and what to do afterwards, including keeping treated areas accessible.
Silverfish are often hard to catch because they spend much of their time hidden. The goal is to reduce their indoor advantage by pairing targeted control with sensible housekeeping steps.
We check the spots you are most likely to overlook, like edges of shelves, behind stored items, and other dark refuges.
Because silverfish favour damp conditions, we consider the moisture drivers in your home when deciding where to focus.
You receive simple steps to limit food sources and reduce conditions that make silverfish reappear.
These points reflect common silverfish behaviour and practical preparation and aftercare guidance used by pest control services.

Silverfish are commonly found in dark, sheltered areas such as cupboards, behind skirting boards, and near moisture-prone spots like laundries or bathrooms. If you are seeing them move when lights turn on, they may be nearby hiding in gaps and clutter zones.
Prepare so treated areas are accessible, and reduce clutter around the places where you have seen activity. If the technician explains any household steps, follow them so control can reach the refuges silverfish use.
Cleaning helps, but silverfish may still have hiding spaces and suitable moisture conditions nearby. Targeting the correct refuges and addressing the conditions that suit them can reduce repeat sightings.
They often show up near bathrooms, laundries, and kitchens because moisture supports them, but they can also shelter in other dark areas of the home. Inspection helps identify the key hiding and condition factors in your specific layout.
Follow the after-visit guidance given by 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney so treated areas remain effective and accessible. If you have questions about what to change at home, ask the technician during or after the visit.
