Our Professional Silverfish Control Process

At Jim’s Termite & Pest Control, we know how destructive and frustrating a silverfish infestation can be. These pests feed on paper, fabrics, glue, and pantry items, often going unnoticed until significant damage is done. That’s why we offer a proven, step-by-step approach to eliminate silverfish and stop them from returning.

Silverfish Inspection

Our trained technicians begin with a comprehensive silverfish inspection, checking all common hiding areas such as:

  • Bathrooms, laundries, and kitchens
  • Skirting boards, storage areas, and cupboards
  • Wallpaper seams, bookcases, and cardboard boxes
  • We assess the extent of the infestation, identify entry points and moisture issues, and pinpoint the areas requiring targeted treatment.

Silverfish Treatment

We apply a customised silverfish treatment plan using safe, effective methods, including:

  • Residual insecticide sprays for long-term protection
  • Insecticidal dust in wall voids and cracks
  • Vacuuming and physical removal in sensitive areas
  • All our silverfish control solutions are eco-friendly and family-safe, and tailored to your property’s unique needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I get rid of silverfish naturally?

To get rid of silverfish naturally, start by reducing moisture levels in your home with dehumidifiers or proper ventilation. Clear out clutter and vacuum regularly, especially in dark, damp areas like basements, bathrooms, and cupboards. Natural deterrents such as diatomaceous earth, citrus peels, or essential oils like lavender and cedarwood may help repel silverfish.

While these methods can reduce mild infestations, they often aren’t enough to completely eliminate the problem. For guaranteed results, Jim’s offers safe, professional silverfish pest control services that treat the source and prevent re-infestation.

What are the signs of a silverfish infestation?

Common signs of a silverfish infestation include:

  • Shed skins or scales near walls, floors, or skirting boards
  • Yellow stains or holes in clothing, books, wallpaper, or cardboard
  • Silverfish sightings, especially in dark, humid areas
  • Droppings that look like small black pepper-like specs
  • Damage to stored pantry items such as flour or oats

If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to book a professional silverfish inspection with Jim’s Termite & Pest Control.

What are the best silverfish traps in Australia?

The best silverfish traps available in Australia typically include:

  • Sticky glue traps designed to lure and catch silverfish
  • Jar traps baited with starchy foods like bread
  • Boric acid-based bait stations for long-term control

While traps can reduce numbers, they don’t stop breeding or address hidden nests. For lasting results, Jim’s offers targeted silverfish treatments combined with advice on how to modify your environment to keep silverfish away.

What attracts silverfish to your home?

Silverfish are attracted to:

  • Dark, damp, and humid areas like bathrooms, laundries, and basements
  • Paper, cardboard, and glue — common in books, boxes, and wallpaper
  • Starchy or sugary food residues in pantries and kitchens
  • Cluttered storage areas that provide shelter and food sources

To prevent silverfish, reduce humidity, declutter, and store books, clothing, and food in sealed containers. Jim’s can help by assessing your home and providing customised silverfish prevention tips.

Are silverfish harmful to humans?

Silverfish are not directly harmful to humans — they don’t bite, sting, or carry diseases. However, they can trigger allergies or respiratory irritation in sensitive individuals due to the scales and waste they leave behind.

Their real threat lies in the damage they cause to paper goods, textiles, and pantry items. If left untreated, silverfish can become a destructive nuisance. Jim’s offers safe and effective silverfish treatments to protect your home and belongings.
