Silverfish (Lepisma saccharina) have been present on Earth for over 300 million years, relying on elevated atmospheric humidity. Typically found in bathrooms, washing basements, and damp storage spaces, these wingless insects measure 10-12 mm in length and boast a distinctive silver color. They lay their eggs in cracks and crevices and thrive in temperatures ranging from 25° to 30° Celsius, with an inability to reproduce in cold, dry conditions. These light-averse, agile insects have a lifespan of up to four years. Silverfish become problematic in larger quantities, exhibiting a preference for starch-rich foods such as glues, book bindings, starched fabrics, and photographs. They also cause damage to leather items and synthetic fabrics through gnawing and hole formation. Infested areas typically contain sugary substances, while in bathrooms, silverfish feed on hairs, skin scales, and dirt. To prevent and control silverfish infestations, it is advisable to: 1. Maintain cool and dry conditions in infested rooms. 2. Pour boiling water into bathtubs and sink drains. 3. Vacuum holes, crevices, and cracks regularly. Implementing these measures helps create an environment that discourages silverfish reproduction and minimizes the risk of damage to various items in the infested spaces.
