Silverfish are small, silvery, wingless insects that move with a wriggling motion and come out at night. In Kawana, the humid air near the canals and the beach suits them well. They feed on starch, glue, paper and natural fabrics, so people often notice them after finding holes in clothes, damaged books or marks on wallpaper and stored photos. We take your call, give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew.
They are most common in dark, damp spaces with little airflow. Built-in wardrobes on external walls, linen cupboards next to bathrooms, garages full of cardboard boxes and roof voids with old insulation are typical spots. Units with small, closed bathrooms and homes that are shut up while owners travel can build up large numbers. Older homes near the beach with timber linings and stored boxes in the roof are another common place to find them.
The crew treats the places where silverfish hide and feed, including the roof void, wall cavities where accessible, wardrobes, linen cupboards, bookshelves and storage areas. They use fine dusts and targeted sprays that reach into the cracks and gaps silverfish use during the day. They can also point out damp spots and airflow problems that make the home more attractive to them, such as a bathroom without an exhaust fan.

Silverfish numbers usually fall over the weeks after a visit. Running bathroom fans and moving stored boxes off the floor both help. To book silverfish control in Kawana, call 07 3543 7771 and tell us where you have seen them.
