Silverfish like damp, dark spots around a Redcliffe home, including bathrooms, laundries, roof spaces and the back of bookshelves or cupboards where paper and fabric sit undisturbed for long spells. The higher humidity that comes with living so close to the bay can make an already damp room worse. You will usually notice small silvery insects moving fast when a cupboard door opens or a box is shifted, along with small chew marks on paper, cardboard or fabric.
Silverfish control starts with a look at the damp areas most likely to be holding numbers, such as bathroom cupboards, laundry corners, roof spaces and subfloor areas where humidity sits high. The crew we book treats these spots along with skirting boards, cupboards and other areas where silverfish move through the house, and can point out any damp or ventilation issues that may be helping numbers build up.
Between visits, running a fan or dehumidifier in damp rooms, fixing any leaking taps or pipes and keeping paper and cardboard boxes off damp floors all help keep silverfish numbers down around your Redcliffe home. If numbers keep building back up in the same spot, it is worth mentioning that when you book another visit, since it can point to a damp issue worth looking at separately.
