Silverfish Pest Control

  • Silverfish consume glue, book bindings, plaster, some paints, paper, photos, sugar, coffee, hair, carpet, clothing, dandruff, and other various items. Silverfish may also attack leatherware and synthetic fabrics and can live for over a year without food. Although they are responsible for the contamination of food and other damage, they are not known to transmit disease. Silverfish predators include earwigs, centipedes, and spiders.
  • The reproduction of silverfish involves 3 stages which last 30 minutes. First, the male and female stand face to face with their trembling antennae touching. Second, the male runs away and the female chases him. Third, they stand head to tail with the male’s tail vibrating against the female. Finally, the male lays a spermatophore which the female takes into her body via her ovipositor to fertilize the eggs. The lifespan of a silverfish is from 2-8 years.
