Signs of a Silverfish Infestation
You might already know for sure that you have a silverfish problem. But here are a couple of the most common signs of a silverfish infestation in Susquehanna Valley & Surrounding Areas.
Sightings
Silverfish might come into the open near windows, or they can even fall out of light fixtures when they infiltrate attics or roofs.
Damage
Silverfish can eat books, wooden chess sets, wallpaper, or natural fibers in clothing like cotton. These can appear as holes, wormlike trails, or chewing marks.
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.
- This wriggle looks somewhat similar to a fish wiggling around in the water.
- Unlike other pests like spiders and scorpions, silverfish won’t harm you.
- However, they can eat just about anything in your house. Silverfish have been known to eat many different kinds of food — basically everything we eat as humans.
- 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, it’s likely because the soil outside your house became dry. When this happens, silverfish will travel toward wet spots inside the home for moisture.
Helpful Silverfish Prevention Tips:
- Seal common entry points.
- Reduce moisture in and around the home.
- Clean before and after meals.
- Reduce hiding places by cleaning around kitchen appliances and other potential hiding places.
- Clean up the yard: including branches, leaves, and woodpiles

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, but ultimately, you’ll want a solution that can help you feel safe and comfortable in your own home. Call Fox Pest Control today to reclaim your home from pests.
Why do I have silverfish in my house?
Most likely, the silverfish came from the soil around your house. Something may have happened to make them want to come inside. 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?
Although silverfish don’t bite, they can contaminate your food, and they can certainly be a big nuisance. Once they get inside the house, they can eat the walls, an old chess set, or even the carpet.
