Wisconsin Silverfish Control Identification

Silverfish are small, silver teardrop-shaped insects that typically range in size from ½ to 1 inch in length. They thrive in dark, damp areas like attics, basements, and crawl spaces, where they feed on organic materials and fungal molds. While silverfish are generally harmless to humans, they can be unsightly and cause significant damage to everyday household items, including:

  • Books, magazines, and paper products (they feed on starches in the glue)

  • Clothing, particularly fabric made from natural fibers like cotton, wool, and silk

  • Wallpaper and artwork (silverfish can nibble on glue or adhesives)

  • Food in the pantry (they may eat grains, cereals, and dried food)

Due to their rapid movement and ability to hide in hard-to-reach spaces, silverfish infestations can be tricky to manage without professional help.
