What are Silverfish?

Silverfish have been on the ground 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 benign and there’d been no recognised proof that they cause diseases or introduce toxin, however, they are 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 strain, and over time spread anywhere. These pests will enter houses through foundation cracks, torn screens, or gaps 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 some people and further damage properties. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of their strange appearance.

Silverfish consumes anything that contains polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Aside from that, they feed on carpet, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar.
