Silverfish are attracted to damp, dark, and humid areas, making basements, bathrooms, and kitchens common hiding spots. They also feed on starchy materials like paper, glue, and fabrics.

Silverfish thrive in humid environments and are often found in areas with high moisture levels, such as bathrooms, kitchens, or basements. They feed on paper, books, wallpaper glue, and textiles, making them a nuisance in homes. To prevent silverfish, reduce humidity levels, seal cracks, and clean up areas where they might find food sources. Dehumidifiers and traps can also help.
