How To Identify Silverfish

(Ctenolepisma spp.)

Silverfish reproduction habits vary by species – some species laying a few eggs a day and others laying clusters of 2 – 20 eggs on a daily basis.

Silverfish eggs are commonly hidden in tiny cracks or crevices, making them extremely difficult to locate.
Silverfish prefer warm, humid places such as bathrooms and kitchens and are especially attracted to paper and damp clothing.
Feed on carbohydrates, especially sugars and starches.
