million years—looking for food, moisture, and shelter. They don’t care who owns the house. They just want to live.
Once I understood that, I stopped feeling grossed out and started feeling empowered. I fixed the leaky pipe. I sealed the crack behind the baseboard. I bought a dehumidifier. And after a few weeks, the silverfish were gone.
They didn’t move because they hated me. They moved because I took away everything they needed to survive.
So if you’re reading this because you just spotted one of these little guys, take a breath. You’re not gross. Your house isn’t condemned. You just have a small problem with a tiny, ancient, slightly creepy bug. And it’s fixable.
You’ve got this. And if you want to come back and tell me how you got rid of yours, I’d love to hear it.
