Have you noticed a small, silvery insect moving quickly around your home? Don't ignore it. Silverfish, despite their small size, can cause numerous problems. Their presence in your home often indicates favorable conditions for their development. These insects are particularly fond of damp, dark places such as bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and closets.
Silverfish feed on starchy materials such as paper, cardboard, books, and some textiles. They can quickly damage your personal belongings, important documents, or clothing. If you see one, there's a good chance there are others, sometimes hidden. They reproduce rapidly, and their population can increase rapidly without you even noticing.
This small, fast-moving, silvery insect sometimes sneaks into our homes unannounced. While it doesn't pose a health risk, its presence can cause significant damage, especially to books, documents, and textiles. Recognizing this uninvited guest and adopting appropriate practices will effectively protect your home.

How can we combat these insects?
The first step is to lower the humidity in your home. Regularly air out rooms using a dehumidifier or mechanical ventilation system. Also, repair any leaks that could create humid areas favorable to the growth of these insects. Next, eliminate food sources. Store documents and books in dry, enclosed spaces and avoid accumulating trash and food scraps.
To limit their spread, vacuum floors, baseboards, and dark areas where they often hide. Don't hesitate to wipe infested surfaces with a damp cloth and white vinegar—a natural repellent. In cases of severe infestation, you may need to use specialized commercial products or call a professional. Exercise caution around these insects.
It's important to remember that this small insect poses no direct threat to humans. It doesn't bite or transmit disease. Its main impact is the property damage it can cause if it multiplies unchecked. A quick response will save you a lot of trouble and provide comfort.
