Silverfish are common in Melbourne homes and are mostly nocturnal, preferring quiet seldom disturbed areas. They feed on and attack clothing, paper, books, and other fabric textiles. They love starchy materials such as book bindings, paper storage, photos, glue, sugar, hair, dandruff and dirt. Also damaging tapestries, wool clothing, cotton,linen, silk and synthetic fibres.

Apart from these cases, the damage caused by silverfish is negligible, and they have no direct effect on human health beyond psychological distress to people who dislike them.

In buildings, silverfish can only exist in sufficiently humid, crevice-rich environments. If these two conditions are removed, the silverfish will not be able to survive. Therefore they are common in wardrobes, bookshelves and bathrooms, living for up to 3 years in the right conditions.
