SILVERFISH
Silverfish (Lepisma saccharina) are common
household pests found in Australia. These small,
wingless insects are known for their distinctive
silver-grey appearance and fish-like shape. They
are commonly found in dark, damp areas such as
bathrooms, kitchens, and basements.

WHAT ARE SILVERFISH AND WHY ARE THEY CALLED THAT?
Silverfish are small, wingless insects that
belong to the order Thysanura. They are named
silverfish due to their unique appearance.
Their elongated bodies are covered in silvery
scales, giving them a shimmering, metallic sheen.
The name silverfish also stems from their
fish-like shape and ability to move in a manner
reminiscent of the swimming motion of a fish.

HOW CAN I PREVENT SILVERFISH INFESTATIONS IN MY
HOME?
To help prevent silverfish infestations in your
home, here are some preventive measures you can
take 1. Reduce Moisture Silverfish thrive in
humid environments, so controlling moisture
levels in your home is essential. Use
dehumidifiers or improve ventilation in damp
areas, such as bathrooms, basements, and laundry
rooms. Fix any plumbing leaks promptly. 2.
Eliminate Food Sources Silverfish are attracted
to starchy and cellulose-based materials. Store
food items in airtight containers, like grains
and cereals, especially those with high starch
content. Properly seal and dispose of garbage and
clean food preparation areas to minimise
potential food sources for silverfish.
