Silverfish pose no threats to people or pets, but that doesn’t mean you should welcome them into your home. When they get inside, silverfish will infest and contaminate pantry items including cereal, dry pasta, flour, and pet food. In addition, they also have the potential to damage personal items such as books, photos, upholstered furniture, and more.
Outside, silverfish are found living in damp, dark, quiet areas. However, if the weather becomes too hot and dry, they will make their way inside to take up residence in areas of homes that mimic their outdoor environment. They can also be accidentally transported inside in the packages, boxes, potted plants, used furniture, or rugs they are hiding in.
Outside, silverfish live in damp, dark areas, such as in mulch, under landscaping ties, in and around fallen trees, inside wood piles, and under rocks. When living inside, silverfish live in areas of high humidity. They can be found in basements, laundry rooms, crawl spaces, under sinks, and in other areas with high moisture levels.
