They are small wingless bugs, with the fish-like appearance and are whitish-grey in colour. They are benign and there had been no recognised proof that they cause diseases or introduce poison, however, they may be considered pests in houses 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 strain, and over time spread anywhere. These pests will enter houses through base cracks, torn screens, or openings 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 some people and further damage possessions. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to their strange appearance.
