Silverfish favour damp, dark spots around Noosa homes such as bathrooms, laundries, book cupboards and storage boxes, and can damage paper, fabric and some packaging over time. They are more active at night, which is often why they go unnoticed until numbers build up. Older homes with limited airflow under the house tend to see more activity than newer, well-ventilated builds.
A crew will check moisture-prone areas such as bathrooms, laundries and under-house storage, along with bookshelves and cupboards where paper and cardboard are kept. Treatment usually targets skirting boards, cracks and cupboard interiors where silverfish shelter during the day. Wardrobes, linen presses and stored boxes in the garage or shed are also worth a look, since silverfish can move between these spots over time. Roof voids and subfloor vents are checked too, since poor airflow in these spots is a common reason silverfish keep returning.

Reducing dampness around the home, such as fixing leaking taps or improving airflow in bathrooms, helps keep silverfish numbers down between visits. Homes closer to the Noosa River or with a lot of surrounding garden often carry a little more moisture in the air, which can mean slightly more activity than drier blocks further inland.
