Silverfish are small silver colored bugs similar to cockroaches. Their feeding causes moderate damage in homes and they are rarely seen during the day. Silverfish prefer warm moist places and often hide under clothing, boxes, rugs, etc. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates and will eat wallpaper paste, books, glue or any wooden materials that are held together by glue. They have very long life spans, can live for years and are very difficult to kill using common household products. Silverfish—like cockroaches live in cracks and crevices such as under and behind baseboards and you may not know you have them until your home starts getting damaged, or you turn on the light and see one go skimming across the floor towards its hiding place. They are very fast and you may even doubt what you’ve seen at first.
