What Are Silverfish?

These pesky insects have small, slender bodies and get their name from their silvery appearance. They have a large appetite and tend to prefer areas with shelter and lots of moisture. They typically eat things high in starches, fibers, and sugars. It’s common to find silverfish dining on grains, dried foods, boxes, paper, and more.

The Signs of a Silverfish Infestation

Recognizing the early signs of an infestation can help you stop your silverfish infestation in its tracks. Below are signs you may have an infestation brewing:

• Live silverfish: Accurately identifying silverfish is the first step in dealing with an infestation. Although silverfish can be found almost anywhere in your building, you’ll typically find them in cool and damp areas. If you notice silverfish in your sink, bathtub, or shower, then there is a good chance that there are more nearby.
• Shed skins: Silverfish shed their skin during their lifecycle, which can help you identify the extent of your infestation. These small, delicate skins may camouflage with the dust on your property, so it helps to familiarize yourself with the appearance of silverfish shells.
• Silverfish droppings: Silverfish have fairly unique droppings, which makes them easy to identify. Keep an eye out for small, black, and round fecal matter resembling peppercorn pieces. It’s possible to overlook these droppings in regular dirt or debris, so pay attention when tidying up if you suspect you have a silverfish problem.
• Silverfish damage: Many people only realize that they have a silverfish infestation after discovering the damage they cause. This can include holes in books, cardboard, wallpaper, and other paper products. Silverfish may also cause damage to plaster, baseboards, or other structural elements of your building.
• Yellow stains: Silverfish may also leave yellow stains on surfaces, books, clothes, and anywhere else they spend time. If you notice yellowish dust inside your building, you may want to investigate further.
