Homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. When brought inside the home, cardboard boxes and plastic containers recently stored in infested areas can allow the pests to spread. The pests will enter houses through foundation cracks, torn screens, or gaps around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors.

These creepy crawlers are cosmopolitan species found in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and other parts of the Pacific. They love to nestle moist areas where temperature is favourable, relatively humid between 75% and 95%. In urban areas specifically families, they are commonly found in attics, bathrooms, bathrooms, sinks, kitchens, older books, and showers.

They are also known to feed on carpeting, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers aren’t an exception as well because of the paste.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In reality, the female and male carry out an exciting ritual which involves three phases and may last over 30 minutes. The feminine silverfish lay approximately 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices.
