Masters of Stealth and Survival
Silverfish can live for up to 8 years! That’s right—these tiny, sneaky invaders can survive for years in your home if left untreated. They’re experts at hiding in dark, damp places, making them tough to spot until the infestation is well underway. Even more surprising? Silverfish can go months without food, waiting for the perfect opportunity to feast on your precious belongings!
Destructive: Your Home is Their Buffet
Silverfish love to eat starches and sugars, which means they’re attracted to materials like paper, glue, and even fabrics. Your books, wallpaper, important documents, and even your clothes are on the menu. These pests can chew through your favorite novels, priceless photographs, and even the family heirlooms you’ve tucked away. Once they find their food source, they can quietly destroy your belongings without you even realizing it until it’s too late.

Colonies Grow Quickly
Silverfish reproduce at an alarming rate. One female can lay up to 100 eggs at a time, and they thrive in the right conditions—dark, damp environments like basements, bathrooms, and attics. Their small size and hidden habits make them hard to detect, so by the time you spot a few, their population may have already exploded, leaving your home vulnerable to a full-blown infestation.
