Have you ever noticed small, silvery bugs zipping across your bathroom tiles? Those are silverfish, scientifically called Lepisma saccharina, with their sleek, tapered bodies and long antennae. They love moist, shadowy places, which is why bathrooms are their go-to spot.
But you can take control and keep them out. Start by drying out your bathroom—open a window, run a fan, or use a dehumidifier to lower humidity. Fix any leaks in pipes or faucets right away to starve them of moisture. Seal up tiny cracks or gaps in walls and around sinks to block their paths.
If they’re stubborn, set out traps or use a safe insecticide to clear them away. These simple moves will transform your bathroom into a clean, bug-free haven, letting you relax without those creepy crawlers stealing the show.
