Despite their name, silverfish are not fish, but instead they are insects, roughly ½ an inch to 1 inch long. Silverfish have scales of a silvery-metallic color, and have two large antennae on their heads and two smaller cerci (similar to antennae) on the abdomen. These insects move in a motion similar to fish swimming, which is where their name comes from. Silverfish love eating sugar, starch and cellulose. Silverfish can eat book bindings, clothes, carpeting, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, paper, photos and plaster. Silverfish are especially known to eat stored paper, so books, newspapers, old magazines and comic books are at risk.
While silverfish do not cause direct harm to humans, they are known to destroy fabric and paper, making them a nuisance pest. Keeping your home’s humidity level and temperature down can help, as well as vacuuming regularly, not keeping lots of clutter around, and making sure any potential water leaks are sealed up.
