Identification
Silverfish are small, silver-grey wingless insects. They are easily recognized by their tapered, fish-like bodies and fast, wiggling movements. They typically range from 12-25mm in length and have three long bristles at the rear.
Behaviour & Signs
- Silverfish love dark, humid spots like bookshelves, cupboards, and bathrooms.
- Common signs include yellow stains on surfaces.
- Look for small holes in paper, fabrics, and books.
- Active mostly at night, hiding during the light of day.

Storage & Item Risks
While they don't carry diseases, silverfish are highly destructive to property. They feed on starch and cellulose, leading to permanent damage to books, clothing, wallpaper, and stored sentimental items. In South West Sydney, they often thrive in humid storage areas.
