The first time I saw a silver fish was in California about 10 yrs ago. Hadn’t seen one since until last week when I saw one in our home in MI. It was near the top of the wall in the kitchen when I noticed it, and stayed there for several days. I kept thinking it looked like a silverfish. So, anyway, a few days ago I decided I was going to catch it and feed it to my son’s frogs. I climbed up on the step stool, then thought…’I wonder if these things can fly?’. So, I climbed down and decided to google them. I found out they do NOT fly, BUT can jump up to 2 feet! So, I was afraid it might jump and land in the carpet and I would never find it, or worse: jump on me! So, I decided to kill it quickly. Not too afraid of bugs, but don’t care for them in our home and don’t care for them to jump on me unexpectedly. lol. Then a couple of days ago, we picked up some paver/garden bricks and found on in our trunk. Killed that little critter too.

Ackkk….I hate insects…I was on the computer listening to music and my sister was cleaning up. All of a sudden she screamed and I turned back and I saw a “silverfish” I nearly jumped out of my pants.I searched up “Silver Insect” on google and I clicked this page. The picture matches what I saw exactly.I was wondering is there any ways to get rid of them as quickly as possible? I absolutly HATE insects and bugs. I totally hate spiders mostly. Please tell me the quickest way possible to get rid of them and do they cause and diseases or harm.I have these books I really like and I don’t want those “silverfish” to be eating my books.Will they crawl into your clothes or nose and stuff when you sleep? EWWWWW…..I ABSOLUTLY HATE BUGS AND INSECT (except butterflies and other unharmful and pretty ones) PLEASE HELP ME

Why can’t I find any information ANYwhere about not-quite-silverfish/firebrats?

Like Eric above, I too keep seeing what I *thought* were silverfish: its silver, fast, body shaped like a fish. Typed ‘silverfish’ into Google only to discover page after page, picture after picture, of silverfish with attenae and stuff that the “silverfish” in my place DO NOT have.

I can fight the un-silverfish using the methods here, but will they work? Or will I just waste my time and money?

Unfortunately many people may not be aware that they may actually bring the silverfish bug and their eggs into their home when they purchase furniture or products packed in cardboard box containers , especially if these products have been stored in a warehouse that is suitable to silverfish living conditions.

Silverfish are becoming huge problem for me here in Florida. Going to try a dehumidifier next. Thanks for the tips!

Try clear two sided tape on the floor along the baseboards works good for all bugs
