Understanding the Silverfish: A Sneaky Household Pest

Silverfish are small, wingless insects known for their shiny, silvery appearance and swift movements. Often found in damp, dark areas like basements, bathrooms, and kitchens, these pests are nocturnal and tend to hide during the day. Although they’re harmless to humans, silverfish can cause damage by feeding on books, wallpaper, and stored food.

They thrive in environments with high humidity, so reducing moisture in your home can help prevent an infestation. If you notice silverfish in your home, it’s important to act quickly to eliminate them by using traps or calling a pest control expert. Keeping your home dry and clutter-free will go a long way in keeping these pests at bay.
