Creepy Bathroom Crawlers: Silverfish Explained<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

You\u2019re brushing your teeth and spot a shiny, wiggly bug \u2014 a silverfish.<\/p>\n

These ancient, wingless insects have been around for millions of years.<\/p>\n

About 1\u00bd inches long, silvery, and fast-moving,<\/p>\n

they don\u2019t bite or spread disease, but they can cause real damage to your home.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Why They\u2019re in Your Home<\/strong><\/p>\n

Silverfish love humidity, darkness, and starchy materials like paper, glue, and fabric.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ll eat wallpaper glue, the bindings of your favorite book, old newspapers, and dandruff (yes, really).\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How to Get Rid of Them<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dry out damp areas with ventilation or a dehumidifier, clear clutter, and seal cracks.<\/p>\n

Sprinkle diatomaceous earth or boric acid (carefully) as natural repellents.<\/p>\n

If they keep appearing, \u201ccall the pros for pest control.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Keep Them Gone<\/strong><\/p>\n

Store paper and clothes in plastic, use moisture absorbers, and keep your home clean and dry.<\/p>\n

If it\u2019s \u201cdry and boring, silverfish will leave.\u201d<\/p>\n
