What Are Silverfish?

Silverfish are small, wingless insects with a teardrop-shaped body and long antennae. Their silvery, metallic scales and wiggling movement give them a fish-like appearance, which is how they got their name. These pests are nocturnal, meaning they stay hidden during the day and come out at night. They prefer dark, damp environments and are commonly found in bathrooms, basements, storage boxes, attics, and behind wallpaper.

Silverfish don’t bite or spread diseases, but they can damage household items over time by feeding on paper, fabric, and other materials. If you're seeing them around, it likely means your home has enough humidity for them to thrive. At Simply Green Pest Control, we can pinpoint problem areas and apply targeted treatments to help keep silverfish under control.

What Do Silverfish Eat?

Silverfish are attracted to starchy materials and will eat a variety of items found in homes, including:

  • Books & paper. The glue in book bindings and wallpaper paste makes these a prime food source. Over time, silverfish can leave irregular holes in pages and weaken wallpaper.
  • Clothing & fabrics. Natural fibers like cotton, silk, and linen can become food for silverfish, leading to small holes and damage in stored clothing or linens.
  • Food sources. Silverfish may infest dry pantry goods such as cereal, flour, sugar, and even pet food.
  • Carpet & upholstery. Some synthetic fibers and natural materials attract silverfish, especially in humid conditions.

Silverfish can go months without food as long as they have moisture, making them tough to control. At Simply Green Pest Control, we tackle silverfish infestations with solutions that help protect your property.

How to Prevent Silverfish in Your Property

Reduce Humidity

Silverfish need damp environments to survive, which is why they’re commonly found in bathrooms, basements, and attics. Using dehumidifiers, fans, or proper ventilation can help keep these areas dry. Fixing leaks and wiping up excess moisture can also make a big difference. At Simply Green Pest Control we can help identify moisture-prone areas where silverfish might be hiding and apply eco-friendly treatments to target them effectively.

Seal Entry Points

Silverfish can enter through small cracks and crevices around doors, windows, and plumbing fixtures. Sealing these gaps with caulk or weather stripping can limit their access and help keep them out. During our inspections, we can point out potential entry points and provide recommendations to help reduce silverfish getting inside.

Store Food Securely

Silverfish are drawn to starches and sugars, including grains, pet food, and dry goods stored in pantries. Keeping these items in airtight containers can prevent silverfish from contaminating your food supply. If silverfish have already found their way into your pantry, our team can help by treating the affected areas and offering long-term solutions to keep them from returning.

Declutter Storage Areas

Silverfish love to hide in piles of books, papers, and cardboard boxes, especially in damp spaces like garages, attics, and closets. Keeping storage areas organized and reducing clutter can limit their hiding spots. Our fully trained team understands the best ways to locate hiding spots and treat problem areas effectively.
