Silverfish – A Nuisance Pest

collage of 3 silverfish

While silverfish are a common pest problem on the West Coast, they are more annoying than harmful. However, they can still cause damage to books, wallpaper, carpeting and clothing.

Generally, silverfish are a grey/silver colour and have 3 long bristles on the back and 2 larger antennae on the front. They are frequently found in dark, warm humid areas such as attics, closets, bathrooms and kitchens. Most people realize they have them when they open a kitchen cupboard or drawer at night.

  • Silverfish can be an interior and exterior pest, but are found inside more in cooler climates.
  • They tend to feed on carbohydrates and proteins contained in starch, paper, drywall and natural fibre clothing (cotton and linen).
  • Silverfish require a relative humidity of 75-95% for survival.
  • A temperature between 16 C and 28 C are generally observed to be the most habitually attractive for silverfish.
