Frequently Asked Questions

For a complete step by step guide on silverfish and how to get rid of silverfish, please see our main page on silverfish.

Do silverfish bite?

No. Other than being a general nuisance, silverfish are not harmful to humans. They are, however, harmful to house hold items such as wallpaper, books, clothes, and human food.

Silverfish are also most active at night, so they may crawl on you when you are asleep. But they do not bite.

How long do silverfish live?

The typical life span of the average silverfish is somewhere between 3 to 6 years, but they can sometimes live as long as 8 or 9 years.

How long does it take to implement your silverfish control solution?

My solution for getting rid of silverfish and keeping them gone is done in three stages. Firstly, you need to locate the problem areas. Next, you need to alter the problem areas so they are no longer suitable for silverfish. And finally, you need to make it permanent by ensuring that the previous conditions do not return.

The amount of time it takes to alter the problem areas depends entirely on the size of your home and the number of problem areas you have. For a 600 - 800 sq ft apartment, you should be able to implement my solution in less than 45 minutes.

What is an eBook?

A eBook is an "electronic book" that you can download instantly to your computer. Nothing will be mailed to you, so there is no wait at all. EBooks are usually viewed in PDF format. Most modern computers will come with a program that will read PDF files, but if you don't have one you can download Adobe Acrobat for free. Click here to download Adobe Acrobat Reader for free.
