Have you ever seen silverfish inside your Southern Utah home? If you’re not familiar with these pests, the name might sound strange. But, silverfish are actually small insects, not actual fish. As their name suggests, these pests are usually a silver or grayish color. And, they get the nickname fish because they have long, tapered bodies and somewhat fish-like movements. They also have long antennae and three tail-like appendages, so if you see one around, it’s easy to feel creeped out.
However, despite their odd appearance, silverfish are considered a nuisance pest. This is a good thing as it means silverfish aren’t going to harm you, your children, or your pets. But, while they might not hurt you, they can be a bit destructive. They eat starch and will chew through everything from food boxes in your pantry to books on your shelf to the wallpaper on your walls.
