Silverfish are small, fast-moving insects that thrive in dark, damp environments such as bathrooms, basements, attics, and kitchens. They are commonly found hiding in cracks, wall voids, bookshelves, and storage areas where moisture is present.

Although silverfish do not bite, they can cause damage to household items by feeding on paper, cardboard, wallpaper, fabrics, and stored food. Their presence often indicates excess humidity, and infestations can grow quickly if moisture issues are not addressed. Professional treatment helps eliminate silverfish and prevent ongoing damage.
