Silverfish measures up to 10-12 mm in length. Silverfish can survive in all types of environments, including highly humid conditions. They are in dark, damp areas like attics, basements, kitchens, and bathrooms.
Silverfish are an utter nuisance in your homes as they can cause immense problems by damaging valuable books, paintings, photographs, plaster, and any other household item which contains starch or cellulose. Though they do not cause any health problems, they are very destructive as they destroy valuables, as stated earlier, and your good memories.
In small numbers, the Silverfish do not cause much of a problem, but in large numbers, they can cause substantial damage if left unnoticed for an extended period.
Silverfish prefer warm, humid places and are especially attracted to paper and damp clothing. It lays eggs in tiny cracks in these warm and moist places, making it difficult for anyone to spot them. Some Silverfish lay few eggs, and some lay clusters of 2 to 20 eggs daily. It takes about two weeks to 2 months for the eggs to hatch. The eggs hatch into a white nymph and are smaller than the adult silverfish.
A silverfish live up to three years.
