silverfish in tn
Silverfish usually measure between ½ to ¾ of an inch in length and their body is teardrop in shape. Silverfish have been appropriately named as their entire body is covered in silver scales. These insects require humidity to survive, but they can live up to a year without food. When they do eat they typically feed on wallpaper or other paper products.
Silverfish do not pose health risks, but they can become an extreme nuisance as they may contaminate food, stain clothing, and damage paper goods.
Silverfish are found all across the United States. Typically these insects are spotted in bathrooms, attics,
crawl spaces or basements because of the high humidity these spaces offer. Their diet usually consists of
anything that contains starch or polysaccharides. Things they may find around your home to feed on with these ingredients can include:
