Silverfish FAQs
What are silverfish and why are they a problem?
Silverfish are small, wingless insects known for their destructive feeding habits, often ruining papers, clothing, and wallpaper. They thrive in damp, dark environments and can indicate a larger moisture issue in your home.
How can I identify a silverfish infestation?
Look for signs like small, irregular holes in wallpaper, yellowish stains on fabric, or their tiny pepper-like feces. You might also spot the silverfish themselves, which are teardrop-shaped, silver or gray insects, typically about 12-19 mm long.
What attracts silverfish to my home?
Silverfish seek out moist, humid environments with temperatures between 70-80°F. Common attractants include piled up newspapers, boxes in damp basements, or undisturbed linen closets.
Are silverfish harmful to humans or pets?
