What Are Silverfish?
Silverfish are metallic, silver-coloured pests with a torpedo-shaped body. They are nocturnal creatures, active only at night, and avoid sunlight. Silverfish thrive in environments with high humidity, particularly around cardboard, paper, and other materials commonly found in homes. This is why many households unknowingly bring silverfish inside through paper goods or moving boxes.
Where Do Silverfish Hide?
In Australian homes, silverfish are drawn to damp, dark places, such as attics, basements, bathrooms, closets, crawl spaces, and laundry rooms. These pests are known to be attracted to clutter and chaos, making them difficult to spot until damage is done.
Silverfish Infestation Facts
A single adult silverfish can lay up to 100 eggs in its lifetime. These pests thrive in temperatures between 22-27°C (72-80°F) with high humidity, typically between 75-97%. If you’re noticing signs of silverfish activity, it’s time to act before the problem worsens.

How to Prevent Silverfish
Remove clutter
You may need to do some cleaning up if you have a tendency to save every piece of paper that comes across your desk because silverfish also enjoy hiding in and feeding on old papers, periodicals, and books. If you haven’t looked at something in a long time, get rid of it. If you can’t stand to part with something, put it in airtight containers, especially if the papers are kept in the basement or attic.
Reduce Humidity
Silverfish thrive in moist, humid environments. Take away their favorite conditions by using a dehumidifier in damp basements and making sure the bathroom is well ventilated.
Packaging Food
To keep silverfish away from alluring food sources, it’s best to put dry items like cereal, pasta, rice, quinoa, flour, sugar, and pet food in robust, airtight containers.
