IDENTIFIER
Silverfish, also known as silverfish, are silvery, flat, elongated insects that are about 1-2 cm long. They have two long antennae and three appendages on the back of their body. Their body is covered with silvery scales which give them a shiny appearance.
Silverfish are nocturnal creatures that feed on carbohydrates, such as sugars and starches, as well as protein and fiber. They feed on books, paper, fabrics, cardboard, wallpaper and other cellulose-based materials.
Silverfish prefer dark, moist environments, and often hide in the cracks and crevices of the house. They can also be found in bathrooms and kitchens, where humidity is often present.
If you think you have silverfish in your home, it’s important to act quickly to avoid an infestation. By eliminating sources of moisture, cleaning regularly and using specific insecticides, you can prevent silverfish from breeding and spreading in your home.
