Silverfish

Silverfish
  • Silverfish are considered a nuisance pest. They prefer to live in moist, dark areas.
  • Silverfish are gray or silver in color with three tail-like appendages projecting from the tip of their abdomen. Silverfish also have long antennae and flattened bodies. Both the adults and nymphs lack wings.
  • Silver fish will travel long distances to locate a food source. Once a good source of food is located, they will stay in that same area.
  • Silverfish damage is recognizable by irregular feeding marks and sometimes the presence of scales, fecal material or yellowish stains.
