They are recognized by their silvery-gray color and teardrop-shaped bodies. They have long antennae and three tail-like appendages at the rear. They move quickly and dart around.
They never developed wings and instead rely on their remarkable speed to dart for cover when threatened.
You might catch them scurrying around your bathroom or kitchen in the dark.
They’ll also munch on dead insects and vegetable matter.
For a closer look at these elusive insects, explore our Silverfish Pest Files—a detailed resource offering insights into their behavior, preferred environments, and effective control techniques.
People often confuse silverfish with earwigs and firebrats. They can all be very irritating to have in your home, but none are poisonous or spread disease.

You might already know for sure that you have an silverfish problem. Here are a couple of the most common signs of Silverfish infestation.
Finding silverfish in cool, damp, dark areas of your home, such as bathrooms, kitchens, basements, or closets, is a clear sign of an infestation.
Silverfish feed on paper, cardboard, fabric, and other starchy materials. Look for small irregular holes or feeding marks on books, wallpaper, clothing, and stored items.
Silverfish shed their exoskeletons as they grow. Finding these translucent, shell-like skins around your home, particularly in areas they frequent, signals an infestation.
Silverfish leave behind yellowish stains on surfaces they crawl over. These stains may appear on paper, fabric, or even walls due to their excrement.
Silverfish may gnaw through food packaging, particularly cereal boxes, flour, or other starchy goods. Look for signs of chewed or torn packaging in your pantry or kitchen cabinets.
Silverfish feces look like small black peppercorns and are often found near their feeding and hiding areas. You might see these droppings where silverfish are active, such as in cabinets, closets, or around stored items.
