Silverfish

Silverfish are small, fast-moving insects often found in bathrooms, kitchens, attics, basements, crawl spaces, and other damp home areas. Their shiny, gray-silver bodies and quick movements can be startling, but the bigger concern is the damage they cause over time.

These pests feed on starches, sugars, paper products, glue, fabrics, book bindings, wallpaper, cardboard, and other household materials. While silverfish do not spread disease, they can contaminate stored food and damage books, clothing, documents, and belongings kept in humid areas.

Why Silverfish Are in Your Home

Silverfish thrive in moisture. Homes with high humidity, plumbing leaks, poor ventilation, or damp crawl spaces create the perfect environment for them. They may enter through small cracks, gaps, boxes, stored items, or materials brought in from garages, storage units, or other infested areas.
Because silverfish are nocturnal, you may not see them during the day. Many homeowners first notice them in sinks, bathtubs, closets, laundry rooms, pantries, or storage areas.

Signs of a Silverfish Problem

Common signs of silverfish activity include:

  • Small silver or gray insects moving quickly across floors or walls
  • Yellow stains or tiny scales on paper, fabric, or stored items
  • Damage to books, wallpaper, cardboard, clothing, or pantry goods
  • Sightings in bathrooms, kitchens, attics, basements, or crawl spaces
  • Increased activity in humid or poorly ventilated areas

If you see silverfish regularly, there may be a larger moisture or pest issue that needs to be addressed.
