Silverfish are true pest insects which are very destructive, don’t carry any known diseases but have fangs – without venom. They may be unpleasant, but at least they aren’t hazardous. You may have spotted these flat silvery or brown insects scurrying in the bathroom, bathtub, sink, on walls, and across the floor. They can be found just about anywhere there’s humidity. Although silverfish are not actually fish they do have a few similarities: they are silvery-blue scales, much like the scales of a fish and move side-to-side like a fish. Like many house insects, silverfish are nocturnal; therefore you are more likely to see them at night as they scurry around using their compound eyes and sensitive antenna to navigate their way around. If you are finding holes in clothing, books and other fabrics, it might very well be silverfish. Their only means of defense is their speed, outrunning centipedes and spiders but thankfully not our eradication formulas.
