Silverfish Control in North Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast

​

At Provecta Pest Management, we understand that silverfish can be a troubling nuisance in the warm and humid climate of North Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast. Our expert team is here to help you identify, manage, and prevent silverfish infestations effectively.

​

Common Silverfish Characteristics

• Appearance: Silverfish are small, wingless insects, typically measuring about 12–19 mm. They have a silvery-blue color and a distinctive fish-like shape, with long antennae and bristly tails.

• Habitat: Silverfish thrive in damp environments and are often found in basements, bathrooms, and kitchens where moisture is present.

Signs of Infestation

• Damage: Look for small, irregular holes in paper, clothing, and other starchy materials. Silverfish often feed on paper products, glue, and fabrics.

• Droppings: Tiny black droppings that resemble pepper grains can indicate a silverfish presence.

• Shed Skins: As silverfish grow, they shed their skins, which can often be found in areas where they frequent.
