Why silverfish are a real problem in Melbourne
Silverfish thrive in cool damp Melbourne homes - sub-floor, bathroom voids, behind books and paper. They ruin photographs, cardboard, wallpaper paste and silk. Older homes in inner Melbourne with poor sub-floor ventilation are silverfish heaven.
Why silverfish keep coming back
Surface sprays around the room miss the harbourage in the wall cavity, sub-floor and roof void where silverfish breed. Treating the harbourage is what stops the cycle.

DIY vs professional treatment
We're not going to pretend hardware-store products never work - they sometimes do. Here's the honest line.
When DIY works
Diatomaceous earth in a dry pantry can knock back a small infestation.
When to call us
If you're seeing them across multiple rooms or in books and photos - call. That's a sub-floor or roof issue.
Common Melbourne suburbs we treat for silverfish

Silverfish questions, answered
- Not to humans or pets. They damage paper, photos, and natural fabrics. The harm is to your stored possessions, not your health.
