Things You Need to Know About Silverfish
- Silverfish get their name from the silver coating on their exoskeleton. This coating gives them a metallic look when they wriggle around on their six legs.
- Their movement looks somewhat similar to a fish swimming around in water.

- They will also eat plant-based items like wallpaper, books, cotton and wall studs if they find their way inside your home.
- If silverfish get inside your Susquehanna Valley & Surrounding Areas, it’s likely because the soil outside your house became dry. When this happens, they will travel toward wet spots inside the home for moisture.

Silverfish Control FAQ
How do I get rid of silverfish?
Silverfish are extremely difficult to remove without professional help because they are capable of eating virtually everything. Vacuuming can help scare them out of the open and back into hiding, but ultimately, you’ll want a silverfish extermination solution that can help you feel safe and comfortable in your own home. Call Fox Pest Control today to reclaim your home from these pests.
Why do I have silverfish in my house?
Most likely, the silverfish came from the soil around your house. Maybe the soil near the house dried out, so they made their way toward a wet spot inside the home to keep from drying out.
Are silverfish dangerous?
You want to get rid of silverfish because although silverfish don’t bite, they can contaminate your food, and they can certainly be a big nuisance. Once they get inside your Susquehanna Valley & Surrounding Areas house, they can eat the walls, an old chess set, or even the carpet.
What are silverfish?
Silverfish are wingless insects with six legs, two antennae, and three antennae-like structures on their abdomen that look like three tails.
What do silverfish eat? What makes silverfish a pest?
Silverfish treatment is important because they can eat almost anything. This destructive ability is one of the things that make this bug a pest for Susquehanna Valley & Surrounding Areas homeowners.
Silverfish can eat “people food” as well as wallpaper, books, wall studs, and anything made of cotton or natural fabrics
Are silverfish beneficial to the environment?
Actually, yes, they are — when they aren’t eating your books, clothes, or walls. These little silvery guys are like the garbage cleanup crew of the world. Since they can eat living or decaying material, they help clean up rotting things, from a dead animal to a fallen tree.
Where do silverfish get their name?
Silverfish get their name from having a silvery coating on their scale-like exoskeleton. They also have a quick, fishlike wiggle in the way they move.
Are silverfish silver? Are silverfish related to fish?
