What Are Silverfish—and Why Are They in Your House?
Silverfish are small, silvery-gray insects that dart across floors, walls, and storage spaces. While they don’t bite or spread disease, they do cause damage to books, clothing, wallpaper, and even pantry items.
They thrive in warm, humid areas—like Florida homes—and hide in attics, bathrooms, closets, and kitchens.
If you’ve spotted one, there are likely many more hiding out of sight.
