What are Silverfish?

Silverfish have been on the earth hundreds of thousands of years in the past before dinosaurs. Meaning, insects like them have lived for 400 million years! They are small wingless bugs, with the fish-like appearance and are whitish-grey in colour. They are harmless and there’d been no acknowledged proof that they cause diseases or introduce poison, however, they may be considered pests in houses and businesses.

Their existence is sometimes undetected and homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. Once inside, they find a secure dark and damp place where they can nestle and breed, and over time spread anywhere. These pests will enter homes through foundation cracks, torn screens, or openings around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish inside. They are not known to spread illnesses but they are capable of triggering allergic reactions in certain people and further damage possessions. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to their strange appearance.

Usually, when there are new buildings, large amounts 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.
