Silverfish is a small, primitive, wingless insect. Adult silverfish have a body length of about 12-19 mm that can infest a home. Very hard to spot because they prefer to live in dark, moist places where damp is common. They can cause property damage by chewing holes in clothing, upholstery and paper goods. Silverfish are known to infest items such as wallpaper, books and envelopes, so these materials can become damaged over time as a result of a silverfish infestation.
