Why Silverfish Show Up in Bathrooms and Basements

Silverfish are small insects commonly associated with humid, protected indoor areas. Bathrooms, basements, laundry rooms and storage spaces can provide favorable conditions.

Humidity Is Important

Reduce excess moisture by repairing leaks and improving ventilation where appropriate.

Clutter Creates Shelter

Paper products, cardboard and stored materials can create protected hiding places.

Inspect Quiet Areas

Check under sinks, along baseboards and around storage where activity may go unnoticed.
