About Silverfish

Silverfish are small, wingless insects that thrive in dark, damp areas such as basements, bathrooms, and kitchens. They are known for their destructive feeding habits, often damaging paper, clothing, and food stored in pantries. Silverfish can be challenging to detect due to their nocturnal nature and quick movements. Effective control involves reducing moisture, sealing entry points, and using targeted treatments to eliminate infestations.

Silverfish FAQ

Signs of a silverfish infestation include finding small, silver-colored insects in dark, damp areas, damage to paper products, clothing, and pantry items, and noticing their small, pepper-like droppings.

Silverfish are attracted to moisture and thrive in humid environments. They often enter homes seeking food and shelter in areas like basements, bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms.

While silverfish do not pose a direct threat to humans, they can cause significant damage to personal belongings, such as books, clothing, and food supplies. Their presence can also indicate underlying moisture problems in the home.

To prevent silverfish, reduce humidity levels by using dehumidifiers, fix any leaks, seal cracks and gaps, and keep your home clean and dry. Proper storage of food and paper products can also help deter these pests.
