silverfish

Silverfish are a common household pest. They are small, wingless insects that often live in damp environments. Silverfish can cause damage to your property and may contaminate your food. This article will provide seven facts about silverfish that you should know.

  1. Silverfish are one of the most common household pests. They're small, wingless insects that get their name from their silvery-gray color and fish-like shape.
  2. Silverfish are nocturnal creatures that prefer dark, damp places. So you'll often find them in basements, attics, kitchens, and bathrooms.
  3. Silverfish are attracted to paper, glue, and starch. As a result, they often eat books, wallpaper, and clothing made from natural fibers.
  4. Although they don't carry diseases, silverfish can contaminate food with their feces.
  5. Silverfish can cause allergic reactions in some people. Symptoms include itchiness, swelling, and difficulty breathing.
  6. Silverfish are difficult to control because they reproduce quickly. A single female can lay up to 100 eggs at a time
  7. The best way to prevent silverfish infestations is to eliminate their food sources and moisture problems in your home.
    • Regular vacuuming and dusting can help reduce the food available to silverfish.
    • Fix any leaks in your plumbing to reduce the dampness that silverfish need to survive.
