Silverfish Pest Control
Silverfish are small, wingless insects with a distinctive teardrop shape and silvery-grey colour that gives them their name. These primitive insects have been around for over 400 million years and have adapted perfectly to living alongside humans.
These nocturnal pests measure about 12-19mm in length and move with a fish-like wiggling motion. They’re known for their long antennae and three bristle-like appendages at their rear. While they don’t bite humans or spread disease, silverfish can cause considerable damage to your belongings.
Signs of a silverfish infestation include:
- Spotting live silverfish in bathrooms, kitchens, or basements
- Yellow stains on clothing, books, or papers
- Small holes in wallpaper, books, or clothing
- Tiny black droppings that look like pepper
- Shed skin (scales) with a silvery appearance

FAQ
Silverfish are nocturnal, so you might not see them during the day. Look for small, silver-grey insects about 12-19mm long with a teardrop shape and three bristles at the rear. You might also notice damage to books, wallpaper, or clothing, and small pepper-like droppings in dark, damp areas.
No, silverfish don’t bite humans or spread diseases. However, they can cause damage to your property and belongings, particularly paper products, photos, clothes, and wallpaper. In rare cases, their shed skins might trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
While there are DIY methods available, silverfish infestations are often difficult to eliminate completely without professional help. Silverfish can hide in wall voids and other inaccessible areas, making professional silverfish pest control services the most effective solution for complete eradication.
Our professional silverfish removal treatments begin working immediately, but complete elimination might take a few weeks depending on the severity of the infestation. Our treatments include residual products that continue working long after application, ensuring all silverfish are eliminated, including newly hatched ones.
