Silverfish could be our friend if they were not so destructive. After all, they like so many of the same things we do. They like old books, but instead of reading them they eat the paper and the glue. They also like antique rugs, but not for walking on, just for eating the threads especially if it is made of wool, cotton or silk. You can also find them devouring a wide range of foodstuffs including coffee grounds, treasured family photos, your best clothing including wool coats, sugar and pantry stored food items. They are an invasive pest that can lower your quality of life significantly. Especially considering that when they are done eating, they leave behind fecal matter than can trigger allergies and asthma among children, the elderly, or anyone with a compromised immune system.
