Silverfish
Silverfish are common pests in the Southeastern United States, thriving in the region's warm and humid climate. These small, wingless insects, with their silvery scales and elongated bodies, resemble fish and are known for their voracious appetite for starches and sugars found in household items like paper, glue, and textiles. Although they do not pose direct health risks, silverfish can cause damage to personal belongings.

Types of Silverfish
In the Southeastern United States, silverfish such as the Four-lined Silverfish (Ctenolepisma lineata) and the Common Silverfish (Lepisma saccharinum) are prevalent. These nocturnal insects are known for their silvery appearance and elongated bodies.
