Silverfish Often Start in Quiet, Damp Areas
Silverfish are commonly found in bathrooms, basements, laundry rooms, kitchens, closets, storage areas and wall gaps. These pests prefer dark, humid spaces where they can stay hidden and move around without being noticed.

Silverfish often hide in baseboards, cracks, cupboards, closets, bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, storage boxes and behind stored items where there is darkness and shelter.
