What Are Silverfish and Why Are They in My Home?

Silverfish are small, fast-moving insects known for their silvery-gray color and fish-like shape. They thrive in dark, humid areas like bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and even inside books or storage boxes.

These pests might seem harmless at first, but they feed on paper, glue, fabrics, and even pantry items—causing damage to valuables and food. Once they’re in, they multiply quickly and are difficult to eliminate without professional help.

Don’t let silverfish take over your home! At Un Bug Me Pest Control, we offer effective treatments that eliminate silverfish and prevent future infestations.
