They settle in damp areas in which the temperature is suitable for them, generally humid and about 75% and 95 percent in temperature. In Urban areas particularly families, they are usually found in storage rooms, bathrooms, bathrooms, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish are classified as nocturnal pests and they go around so quickly. Since they voraciously consume on starch-rich items and paste, most people can easily identify their existence because they leave stains on clothing and wardrobes.

As above, silverfish loves moist, dark and cold locations. They are found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, whenever there are new buildings, large numbers may be found in which masonry is still damp. During a famine, a silverfish may even attack leatherware and synthetic fabrics. Silverfish can live for a year or more without eating.

It takes two weeks to two months for silverfish eggs to hatch. In fact, the adult female and male carryout an interesting mating ritual which involves 3 phases that last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish is effective at putting out 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will thrive to grow into adults between 3 months to 3 years.

On the other hand, they are food for other insects such as earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders
