Despite their name, these “fish” are actually pests that are frequently found in dark areas. Their favorite household locations include basements, kitchens, and bathrooms. Silverfish are attracted by damp clothing and paper, and by snacking on them they can ruin these belongings and more. They will feast on anything from shampoo to cloth in your home. Unfortunate households acquire these unwanted guests thanks to damp locations, unwashed dishes, and sometimes even by homeowners unknowingly carrying them inside when transporting items from an infested area. Even though they are not dangerous to have around, silverfish can cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
