What are Silverfish
What are Silverfish?
Silverfish are small, wingless insects that are closely related to firebrats. They are also known as fishmoths, carpet sharks or urban silverfish. Silverfish are found throughout the world and can live in many different habitats. They are most commonly found in basements, attics, and other damp areas. Silverfish measure about 1/2 to 1 inch long, and have an elongated body that tapers to a point at the head and tail. They have six legs and two antennae, and are usually silver or gray in color.
What Do They Look Like?
Silverfish have a flattened, elongated body with three long, thin tail-like appendages at the back. They have two antennae and three long, thin legs on each side, which they use to move quickly. Silverfish are usually silver or gray in color, but may also be brown or yellow. They have scales running down the length of their body and have a distinct shiny, metallic appearance.
How Do I Know If I Have Them?
Silverfish are nocturnal and will hide during the day in dark, damp areas such as basements, attics, and crawl spaces. If you suspect you have an infestation of silverfish, look for their shed skins and droppings, which are small, black pellets. You may also see them scampering around at night, as they are attracted to light.
