Silverfish consume matter that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrin in adhesives. These include glue, book bindings, paper, photos, sugar, coffee, hair, carpet, clothing, dandruff, tapestries, cotton, linen, silk, synthetic fibers and dead insects. During famine, a silverfish may even attack leather-ware and synthetic fabrics. Silverfish can live for a year or more without eating. Although they are responsible for the contamination of food and other types of damage, they do not transmit disease.
