What are Silverfish?

They are small wingless insects that are usually less than 15 mm long. They have a tapered, silvery fish-like appearance and move quickly when disturbed. Silverfish go through simple metamorphosis with three stages – egg, nymph, and adult. Female silverfish lay eggs in cracks, crevices, and other hidden places. They can lay dozens of eggs at a time and up to 100 in their lifetime.

Silverfish thrive in warm, humid environments. They like areas with a relative humidity over 75%. Since they breathe through gills on their bodies, moisture is key to their survival.

Outdoors, silverfish primarily live under rocks, leaf mold, and tree bark. These damp, dark areas provide shelter.

Indoors, common silverfish habitats include bathrooms, kitchens, closets, crawl spaces and voids.
