They are benign and there have been no known evidence that they cause diseases or inject poison but then they’re considered pests in homes and businesses.

Their existence is sometimes undetected and homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. Once inside, they find a secure dark and damp place where they can nestle and breed, and over time spread everywhere. These pests will enter homes through base cracks, torn screens, or gaps around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors. They are not known to spread illnesses but they are capable of triggering allergic reactions in certain people and further damage properties. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of their strange appearance.

Apart from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar.
