These insects are cosmopolitan species And are observed in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and unique parts of the Pacific. They prefer to nest in moist areas in which temperature is beneficial, exceptionally humid among 75% and 95%. In urban areas particularly households, they are typically observed in attics, basements, bathtubs, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish consumes anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Both adults and larvae love to feed on carpeting, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because these creatures feed on it due to the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents is regarded as food for these insects.
