Silverfish

These shiny tear-shaped pests can survive in almost any condition.

Silverfish got their name from their shiny silver-grey bodies and their fish-like movements. Silverfish prefer damp and cool places like laundries, bathrooms and basements. Most people may see them as harmless creatures but in large numbers silverfish may cause unhygienic living situations.

They can also cause damage to things like clothes, papers and wallpapers as such materials contain sugars.

Silverfish can be found in several undisturbed areas of the home but most people first notice them on their bathroom walls.

The use of dehumidifiers and heaters can help to prevent and remove silverfish. Cinnamon has also been found to repel adult silverfish but it won’t affect the eggs.
