Silverfish are not just pesky creatures; they can also be a nuisance and even cause damage to your belongings. Silverfish are small, wingless insects known for their silvery-blue appearance. They thrive in humid environments and feed on carbohydrates, starches, and even paper products. Common areas where silverfish are found include kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.

​

Signs of Infestation

Detecting silverfish infestations early is crucial for effective control:

• Visible Silverfish: Seeing these insects in areas where they shouldn't be, such as your pantry or bookshelves, is a clear sign of infestation.

• Damage to Paper Products: Silverfish often damage books, wallpaper, and other paper-based items.

• Shed Exoskeletons: Finding small, translucent exoskeletons shed by silverfish is a common indicator of their presence.

​

Potential Problems

Silverfish can create several issues in your home:

• Property Damage: They can damage books, documents, and wallpaper, causing costly repairs.

• Contamination: Silverfish can contaminate food and other stored items.

• Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may experience allergic reactions to silverfish.
