A few years ago, I walked into a client’s bathroom in Atlanta and immediately knew what was happening. The moment I turned on the light, several silverfish scattered across the floor like tiny silver bullets. The homeowner was embarrassed and frustrated — she had been dealing with them for over a year.
After a thorough inspection, I found they were thriving behind the baseboards, under the sink, and inside the wall voids where moisture from the shower had been seeping for years. That case taught me something important: silverfish don’t just appear randomly. They stay because the bathroom gives them exactly what they need — constant humidity and plenty of starchy food sources.

That case stuck with me because most of the damage could have been prevented if the homeowner had known what to look for and how to act early.
