nocturnal insects. They hide during the day in dark, quiet, damp places, then come out at night to feed.<br><br><br>They are most often found:<br>&#8211; behind skirting boards and under floors,<br>&#8211; in pipes, siphons and under sinks,<br>&#8211; at the bottom of rarely used furniture, drawers and cupboards,<br>&#8211; in bathrooms, toilets, cellars and laundry rooms,<br>&#8211; near washing machines, water heaters or poorly ventilated areas.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-faq-block-for-gutenberg-faq\" style=\"background:#f6f7f7\"><div class=\"question\" style=\"background:none;color:#000\"><h4 style=\"color:#000\">Why do I have silverfish in my home?<\/h4><\/div><div class=\"answer\" style=\"background:none;color:#000\">Silverfish are transported by humans via wooden, cardboard or paper objects.<br><br><br>Once they have entered a home, they proliferate if there is:<br>&#8211; high humidity (wet rooms, poor ventilation),<br>&#8211; water leaks or condensation,<br>&#8211; dark, uncleaned corners,<br>&#8211; the presence of materials they consume: paper, cardboard, dust, glue, food residues, mould,<br><br><br>They can also come from your neighbours&#8217; homes via shared pipes or ducts.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-faq-block-for-gutenberg-faq\" style=\"background:#f6f7f7\"><div class=\"question\" style=\"background:none;color:#000\"><h4 style=\"color:#000\">Are silverfish dangerous to your health or your home?<\/h4><\/div><div class=\"answer\" style=\"background:none;color:#000\">No, silverfish are not dangerous to human health:<br>&#8211; they do not sting,<br>&#8211; they do not bite,<br>&#8211; they do not transmit any diseases.<br><br><br>However, they can be a nuisance in public buildings or homes:<br>&#8211; they can damage books, papers, cardboard, wallpaper,<br>&#8211; their repeated presence is often a sign of a damp problem that needs to be fixed.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-faq-block-for-gutenberg-faq\" style=\"background:#f6f7f7\"><div class=\"question\" style=\"background:none;color:#000\"><h4 style=\"color:#000\">Do silver fish leave on their own?<\/h4><\/div><div class=\"answer\" style=\"background:none;color:#000\">No, silverfish do not disappear spontaneously. As long as conditions are favourable (humidity, dark hiding places and food available), they will remain and reproduce. Even if you see fewer of them for a while, it is highly likely that they are hiding elsewhere (skirting boards, pipes, cracks).<br>Without targeted treatment, the infestation will almost always return.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-faq-block-for-gutenberg-faq\" style=\"background:#f6f7f7\"><div class=\"question\" style=\"background:none;color:#000\"><h4 style=\"color:#000\">How long does a silverfish live?<\/h4><\/div><div class=\"answer\" style=\"background:none;color:#000\">Silverfish live for an average of 3 years and up to 8 years.<br>This longevity explains why they are difficult to eradicate:<br>&#8211; they can survive for long periods without eating,<br>&#8211; they reproduce slowly but steadily,<br>&#8211; they can remain hidden for several months before reappearing.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-faq-block-for-gutenberg-faq\" style=\"background:#f6f7f7\"><div class=\"question\" style=\"background:none;color:#000\"><h4 style=\"color:#000\">What do silver fish eat?<\/h4><\/div><div class=\"answer\" style=\"background:none;color:#000\">Silverfish are omnivorous insects that feed mainly on materials rich in starch, sugar or cellulose.<br><br><br>They consume, in particular:<br>&#8211; paper, cardboard, books and newspapers,<br>&#8211; glue (wallpaper, bindings, cardboard),<br>&#8211; dust and organic residues,<br>&#8211; mould and microalgae associated with humidity,<br>&#8211; certain natural textiles (cotton, linen, silk),<br>&#8211; food residues that have fallen on the floor (flour, sugar, crumbs).<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The silverfish, also known as the \u2018silverfish,\u2019 is a small insect measuring 10-15 mm with two long antennae that moves like a fish.
