Silverfish damage is characterized by irregular holes in paper, fabric, and other cellulose-based materials. The edges of the holes are often frayed or torn, and there may be small, dark droppings nearby. Silverfish may also leave behind a musty odor.
Silverfish are common household pests that can cause significant damage to books, clothing, and other belongings. They are attracted to the cellulose in these materials, which they use as food. Silverfish can also transmit diseases, such as asthma and allergies.
