Silverfish are small, wingless insects that are common household pests. They are typically silver or gray in color and have a long, flattened body with three long tail-like appendages. Silverfish are known for their ability to damage paper and other cellulose-based materials, and they can also be a nuisance in pantries and other food storage areas.
Silverfish have been around for millions of years and are found in all parts of the world. They are most active at night and prefer warm, humid environments. Silverfish can live for up to two years and can lay up to 100 eggs during their lifetime.
