Silverfish
Defending Your Home from Silverfish Intruders
Meet the Silverfish
The presence of silverfish can pose a threat to the sanctity of your home. These teardrop-shaped insects range in color from white to brown-grey or bluish-silver, measuring between 12-19 mm in length. Distinguished by three long bristles on their rear, silverfish undergo growth from egg to adult without a visible change in appearance.
Adaptable Inhabitants
Silverfish showcase remarkable adaptability, thriving in various climates. Their preferred habitats include dark and damp areas such as basements, attics, kitchens, and bathrooms. These elusive pests are particularly drawn to paper and damp clothing, making stored boxes in garages and sheds common hiding spots.
Dietary Preferences
Feeding on carbohydrates, silverfish have a penchant for sugars and starches. They may also target cellulose, shampoos, glue in books, linen, silk, and even deceased insects as potential food sources. Shockingly, they have been found in unopened food packages, emphasizing the need for vigilant pest control.
