What Are Silverfish and Why Are They Bad?

Silverfish are small, wingless insects found in homes, often in damp areas. They're not harmful to humans but are considered pests due to their destructive feeding habits and ability to contaminate items.

Why they are considered bad:

• Destructive Feeding: They eat starchy materials like paper, books, and food, causing damage.
• Contamination: They leave behind feces and scales, contaminating food and items.
• Allergies: Some people may be allergic to them.
• Aesthetic Concerns: Their presence can be unsettling and unsightly.
• Moisture Indicators: Their presence may signal moisture issues in a building.

To manage them, reduce moisture, eliminate food sources, and use traps or insecticides.

Signs of a Silverfish Infestation

There are several signs that indicate you may have a silverfish infestation in your home.

• Sightings of silverfish in your home, especially at night.
• Finding translucent shed exoskeletons around.
• Damage to paper, books, fabrics, and starch-based foods.
• Tiny black droppings resembling black pepper grains.
• Yellow stains on surfaces and a musty odor in severe cases.
• Nests in dark, damp areas like basements and bathrooms.
• Silvery scales are left behind in their paths.

If you suspect an infestation, take action to control them, such as reducing moisture, sealing entry points, and using traps or insecticides, or consult a pest control professional for help.
