Once inside, they find a safe dark and damp place where they can nestle and strain, and over time spread everywhere. These pests will enter homes through foundation cracks, torn screens, or openings around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors. They are not known to spread illnesses but they are capable of triggering allergic reactions in certain people and further damage properties. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of their strange appearance.
