House centipedes feed on spiders, bed bugs, termites, cockroaches, silverfish, ants, and other household arthropods. It is effective against cockroaches, waterbugs, ants, silverfish, crickets and spiders, among others. They are endoparasites in other insects, such as bees, wasps, leafhoppers, silverfish, and cockroaches. Toxic baits are another means of reducing or eradicating silverfish infestation. Silverfish are nocturnal insects typically long. Textiles are especially vulnerable to attacks from pests such as moths and silverfish. The predators of dust mites are other allergenic mites ("Cheyletiella"), silverfish and pseudoscorpions. Other similar insect species are also known as silverfish. It may have superficially resembled a modern-day silverfish insect. Together with jumping bristletails, the predecessors of silverfish are considered the earliest, most primitive insects. Some early ametabolous "true insects" are still present today, such as bristletails and silverfish. The spitting spider "Scytodes thoracica" preys on Lepismatidae like the gray silverfish. The Apterygota consist of the primitively wingless order of the silverfish (Zygentoma). The Apterygota consist of the primitively wingless order of the silverfish (Thysanura). Ross seal feeds primarily on squid and fish, primarily Antarctic silverfish, in the pelagic zone.
