Why Sydney Homes Choose Redback for Silverfish Control

Silverfish damage is slow but expensive — they chew clothing, archived paper, photos, wallpaper paste and dry pantry goods. They live in the roof void, wall cavities and dark cupboards, and a single treatment is rarely enough if you only spray where you see them. Our silverfish program treats the entire roof void with a long-residual dust, then targets every wardrobe, linen press and built-in storage area inside the home.

Every treatment is delivered by a fully licensed, NSW EPA-registered Redback technician — never a subcontractor. We've been protecting Sydney homes and businesses for over 30 years and carry $20M public liability cover.

Booking is easy: get a fixed written price up front, choose a time that suits you (including Saturdays), and receive a digital service report with everything we used, treated and recommend. Same-week service is standard across Sydney, the Central Coast and Wollongong.

Signs of a Silverfish Problem

✓Tiny irregular holes in clothes, books or wallpaper
✓Silver/grey insects darting from a turned page

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a silverfish treatment take?

Most residential silverfish treatments take 45–90 minutes depending on the size of the home and the level of activity. We'll confirm the timing when we book the job.

Is the treatment safe for kids and pets?

Yes. We use only APVMA-registered, low-toxicity products applied by licensed technicians. Treated areas are typically safe to re-enter once dry — usually within 1–2 hours.

Will I see dead silverfishs after the treatment?

It's normal to see increased activity for the first 7–14 days as the product flushes them out of harbourage. After that, activity drops off sharply.

Do you offer a warranty?

Silverfish treatments include a 12-month warranty when the roof void is treated as part of the program.

Do you charge a call-out fee?

No. Quotes are fixed in advance, with no hidden call-out or travel fees across Sydney metro, Central Coast and Wollongong.
