Why Pest Control Is a Must for Silverfish
Although silverfish are not known to bite and there isn’t any evidence to suggest that silverfish are poisonous, they can trigger allergic reactions in some people. Due to the fact that silverfish shed their skin throughout their adult life in a process called “molting,” they leave behind scales and skin shells that can cause allergic reactions in some people. Silverfish are also known for damaging belongings. These insects prefer a sugar and carbohydrate filled diet, so they will chow down on anything from books to wallpaper, insulation, clothing, and cereals. They also enjoy cardboard, newspaper, tissue, and even human hair that has fallen on the ground.
