Homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. When brought inside the home, cardboard boxes and plastic containers recently stored in infested areas can make it possible for the pests to spread. The pests will enter homes 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 households, they are commonly found in attics, basements, bathtubs, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Apart from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, pictures, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too due to the fact that these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered meals for those pests.
