🕷️ Silverfish & Spider Control

Practical, Effective Control: Without Overreacting

Spiders and silverfish are common in Queensland homes.
While most aren’t dangerous, they can still be unsettling, damage belongings, and indicate underlying issues such as moisture or access points.

At Under One Roof, silverfish and spider control is handled personally by me, Alastair.
With over 30 years’ experience in construction, combined with years working hands-on as a licensed pest technician, I understand not only how these pests behave, but why they appear in certain homes and how to deal with them properly.

Understanding the Problem

Spiders

Spiders are attracted to shelter, insects, and undisturbed areas.
They’re commonly found around:

  • Eaves and gutters

  • Garages and sheds

  • Window frames and doorways

  • Roof voids and storage areas

While most spiders are harmless, species such as redbacks and white-tailed spiders can pose a risk if not managed correctly.

Silverfish

Silverfish thrive in dark, humid environments and often go unnoticed until damage appears.

Common signs include:

  • Damage to books, paper, or stored items

  • Holes in clothing or soft furnishings

  • Sightings in wardrobes, bathrooms, or roof spaces

Silverfish are often linked to moisture issues, which is where construction knowledge makes a real difference.

How I Treat Silverfish & Spider Issues

Every treatment is tailored to the property and level of activity, no unnecessary spraying.

  1. Inspection & Assessment
    I identify harbourage areas, entry points, and contributing conditions such as moisture or clutter.

  2. Targeted Treatment
    Professional-grade, low-toxicity treatments are applied to relevant interior and exterior areas only.

  3. Web & Harbourage Control
    Webbing and nesting areas are treated to discourage re-establishment.

  4. Prevention Advice
    I’ll explain practical steps to reduce moisture, entry points, and attractants.

No blanket spraying. No panic treatments. Just sensible pest control that works.

Safe for Families & Pets

All treatments use Australian-approved, low-toxicity products that are safe when applied correctly.
I apply treatments strategically, not indiscriminately  and explain any precautions clearly before starting.

If you have children, pets, or sensitivities, those are always taken into account.
