What are Silverfish?
Silverfish are small, wingless insects that get their name from their silvery-gray color and fish-like appearance. They typically measure between ½ and ¼ of an inch long and are very slender. Silverfish are nocturnal creatures, so they are most active at night when you're asleep. This can make them difficult to spot.
What Do Silverfish Eat?
Silverfish are known for their love of paper and book bindings, which is why they're often found in libraries and homes with lots of books. But silverfish will also eat just about anything else, including hair, dandruff, carpet fibers, dead skin cells, glue, milk, plants, and even coffee grounds. Basically, if it's organic and not nailed down, a silverfish will probably try to eat it.
How Do I Know If I Have Silverfish?
The best way to tell if you have silverfish is to look for the telltale signs of their presence:
Small holes or tears in wallpaper, books, or clothing
Yellowish stains on fabrics
Brownish stains on walls or ceilings
If you see any of these signs in your home, it's time to call in the professionals at EnviroMaxx Pest Control. We will inspect your home to determine the extent of the infestation and develop a customized pest control plan to get rid of the silverfish for good.
