The origin of the name "Silverfish", has perplexed people for centuries. People for 157 years have wondered, "What genius named them "Silverfish"? Since they are neither made of silver or fish, one has to wonder why a more appropriate name wasn't used, such as "Wall Guts" "Bedtime Book Scare" or "Go Get the Ladder".
Unfortunately, they can live up to eight years and up to one year without eating your books or wedding dress. Therefore, it is important to know how to get rid of these nocturnal pests. Scientists in Poland suggest getting rid of all sources of water and food in the home. Whereas in California, researchers are lobbying for the protection of these innocent animals. However, the best known way to control overpopulation of silverfish is to either toss them bait or buy a cat.
