Commonly found in old boxes, drawers and bookshelves, these animals are known to be destructive pests. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, especially sugars and starches. They have voracious feeding habits, oftentimes ruining papers, clothes and wallpaper.

Silverfish has been on the planet millions of years ago before dinosaurs. Meaning, bugs like them have lived 400 million years! They are small wingless insects, with fish-like look and appear to be whitish-gray in colour. They are harmless and there have been no known evidence that they cause diseases or inject poison but then they are considered pests in homes and businesses.

Silverfish don’t transmit diseases, but the pests may trigger allergies in some people and further damage possessions. Their existence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to their strange appearance.

Silverfish absorbs anything that contains polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Aside from that, they feed on carpet, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because these creatures feed on it because of the glue. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered food for these pests.
