Silverfish may be small, but they can cause significant damage inside homes and commercial properties. These moisture-loving insects feed on paper, fabrics, glue, and stored items, often going unnoticed until the damage becomes visible. At Aptive Pest Control Melbourne, we provide professional silverfish pest control services designed to eliminate infestations and prevent them from returning.

Our licensed technicians use targeted treatment methods combined with preventative strategies to protect your property long-term.

Why Silverfish Are a Problem in Melbourne Homes

Melbourne’s fluctuating humidity levels create ideal conditions for silverfish activity. Bathrooms, kitchens, roof cavities, and storage areas often provide the moisture and shelter they need.

Common issues caused by silverfish include:

• Damage to books, documents, and wallpaper

• Holes in clothing and fabrics

• Contamination of stored food products

• Infestation of roof voids and wall cavities

• Rapid population growth if untreated

Early professional treatment prevents widespread damage.

Signs You Need Professional Silverfish Pest Control

You may require expert silverfish removal if you notice:

• Small, silver, fast-moving insects at night

• Yellow stains or irregular holes in paper

• Shed insect skins in cupboards

• Damage to cardboard boxes and stored goods

• Activity in bathrooms or damp areas

Because silverfish are nocturnal, infestations often grow unnoticed without professional inspection.
