If silverfish could talk, boy they could tell you some stories. Their ancestors have been around for over 400 million years! That's right, they've seen the Brontosaurus come and go, Pharaohs moving into the pyramids when they still had that "new home" smell, and all the Roman statues with their noses and arms still attached. And even today, they're totally down with infesting the basement in your current palace.
Oh yes, silverfish are real survivors. You've got to go pretty Medieval on their butts to get rid of them. True, they never bothered to learn to fly. Instead, they looked to fish for their inspiration: they're sort of grey like a fish, they move and squirm like a fish and they have a scaley body like a fish. But they're not fish. Fish don't consider faintly damp newspaper fine dining. Or wallpaper. Or dust. Or hair. Plus, they'll eat almost anything you’d eat, just as long as it has a little more--shall we say--"vintage" to it.
So, as you can see, there's really no exterminating silverfish. I mean, 400 million years--what can you say but "great job", right? But if you've known silverfish as long as we have, you can enter into some pretty firm negotiations with them. With a little persuasion and just the right amount of unpleasantness you can convince them to vacate, if not the planet, then at least the luxury sublet they've got going on over by your water heater.
