Know What to Watch For
Signs of a Silverfish Infestation
Stains on Books or Paper
Silverfish feed on starchy materials. Look for yellowish stains or surface etching on paper, photos, or wallpaper.
Shed Skins
As silverfish grow, they shed their exoskeletons. These small, dry, translucent skins are often left behind near baseboards or corners.
Tiny Holes in Fabrics
Silverfish may chew through clothing, especially natural fibers like linen or cotton. Small holes near seams are a giveaway.
Silverfish Sightings at Night
These pests are nocturnal. Spotting a silverfish on your bathroom floor late at night is a sign of a bigger problem.
Humidity Trouble Spots
If your basement, attic, or bathroom is unusually damp, it could be attracting silverfish seeking a moist hiding place.
Musty Odors
Over time, heavy silverfish infestations can cause a musty, stale odor due to their droppings and secretions.
