What Are Silverfish?

The term “silverfish” refers to the glittering sheen and fish-like characteristics of the insect. A common name for silverfish is “bristletails,” a reference to the three long, tail-like appendages at the animal’s posterior. Silverfish are common in damp, humid places like bathrooms, basements, and attics, and they can be found all around the United States. Since they are so good at keeping themselves out of sight, whatever harm they may inflict may go unreported. Read on to learn about silverfish, silverfish control, and silverfish extermination.

Silverfish Identification

What Do Silverfish Look Like?

Silverfish lack wings but are very swift runners. Without the tail, an adult silverfish’s body length is roughly 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch (12 to 19 mm). They have a scaly, flattened body that tapers from the head to the tail and is reminiscent of a teardrop, a carrot, or a fish. The silvery metallic sheen and the fish-like form and behavior of silverfishes both contribute to the name’s popularity. Additionally, they have thin antennae and widely spaced, small compound eyes. Silverfish immatures look just like full-grown specimens until their third or fourth molt, at which point they begin to develop scales. Click this link to learn about silverfish bites!

Sign of a Silverfish Infestation

Look for markings that indicate feeding, such as holes or etchings on the surface. Besides the black pepper-like pellets, which look like microscopic black peppers, contaminated items may also have yellow stains, scales, and/or feces.

Basements, attics, and bathrooms are prime locations for these pests due to the high humidity and moisture levels there. Silverfish have been spotted when they fall from the ceiling or soffits, perhaps after entering via the shakes of the roof.

Get in touch with an exterminator specializing in silverfish if you notice an infestation at your house. Professional silverfish exterminators can check your home, identify the source, and provide you advice on how to get rid of them.
