where does silverfish come from
Silverfish can come in from the outside around your foundation or they can be brought in from boxes or other stored products. They will hang out inside wall voids but are very commonly found in bathrooms and attics when they come out to forage for food and water. They will eat glue and adhesives in dresser drawers, bookshelves and bookcases, paintings, etc. We recommend our Silverfish Kit for complete control of these pests.
What is a Silverfish Bug? The Silverfish Bug, also known as Lepisma saccharina, is a small insect without wings.

In urban environments, they will eat glue, paper of any kind including books, sugar, coffee and even clothing, making them quite a pest when they are able to make their way into homes.
