Silverfish Pest Control: Moisture-Loving Insect Pests

Silverfish are unique looking insects with a silvery, metallic appearance and carrot-shaped bodies that allows them to easily hide and maneuver into tight spaces. They get their name from their fish-like movements and silvery sheen.

These nocturnal pests thrive in humid, damp areas with access to starchy materials to feed on. Silverfish prefer to remain hidden, only coming out at night to forage. This makes them hard to detect until populations grow.
