Running around your bathroom? It can live up to 8 years! It's a silverfish.
Did you notice him in your bathroom? It's a silverfish. He can live with you for years. Is it harmful?
Silverfish are a frequent visitor to bathrooms, even the cleanest ones. The conditions there are almost perfect - it is warm, humid, and food is also available. He likes the dark, so most often as soon as we turn on the light - he escapes. It can also appear in the basement or pantry, where conditions are similar.
In general, this insect is harmless and harmless. It feeds on virtually everything, crumbs that fall off us, microscopic bacteria and fungi. He can, unfortunately, nibble on towels and toilet paper.
Silverfish are difficult to exterminate, mainly because they live at night and run away quickly. Fortunately, they rarely cause more damage. How much can such an uninvited guest live under our roof? A very long time for an insect, because it lives on average for four years and grows all the time. If it has favorable conditions, it can live up to 8 years!
