Their appetite for a wide range of materials makes them a pest when they get into residential buildings. These bugs feed on materials that have high amounts of sugar, starch or protein, but this doesn\u2019t mean foods only. Silverfish are also known to make holes in books, paper, wallpaper and other items around homes that have these materials. Although these holes are small, they can end up damaging these items.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Silverfish and Humans <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/blog\/2014\/07\/09\/five-fun-facts-about-silverfish\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">silverfish<\/a> are known for biting household items, they don\u2019t bite humans. This means they\u2019re not a threat to humans, although they\u2019re still considered a nuisance. If you have silverfish around your home, such as in your basement, it\u2019s important to have them eliminated to prevent them from damaging items. Professional exterminators can get rid of these bugs for you and lower the risk of having them come back and cause more trouble.<\/p>\n<p>If you have silverfish in your home, please contact <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/contact-us.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Allison Pest Control<\/a> for help.
