When brought inside the house, cardboard boxes and plastic containers recently stored in infested areas can make it possible for the pests to spread. The pests will enter houses through foundation cracks, torn screens, or openings around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors.

These disagreeable crawlers are globally recognized and are found in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different parts of the Pacific. They settle in moist areas in which the temperature is appropriate for them, generally humid and about 75% and 95% in temperature.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In fact, the female and male carry out an exciting ritual that involves three phases and might last over half an hour. The feminine silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Eventually, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to be adults after three months to three decades.
