Silverfish turn up in the damp, dark corners of Fernvale homes, such as bathrooms, laundries, roof spaces and boxes of stored paper or fabric in the garage or under the house. They tend to go unnoticed for a while since they are most active at night, and the first sign is often small holes in paper, book bindings or fabric rather than seeing the insect itself. Roof spaces that trap heat and moisture, and subfloor storage that rarely gets disturbed, are two of the most common places we hear about.
On the call, tell us where you have noticed damage or seen silverfish, and whether the area tends to stay damp. We match that to a crew who covers Fernvale and can treat both the damp areas and the spots where paper and fabric are stored, with pricing given over the phone first. If you keep photo albums, books or important paper documents in a box under the house, point that out too, since those spots are worth a closer look.
