Ranjen Gohri, from 24|7 Home Rescue , said: "Silverfish are actually the oldest known pests on earth.
"And if you're spotting tiny holes in your clothes or curtains, you might have an infestation without even realising it.
"They'll eat anything. But skin cells are a delicacy to silverfish.
"And they like to leave their calling card - in the shape of tiny yellow stains wherever they've been."
If you want to keep the pests away, the best thing to do is keep your house as clean as possible.
"Daily cleaning to keep on top of things and then a weekly good going over means silverfish won't have a good reason to stick around.
"Keep dust off books, and keep the bathroom floor mopped so there's no dead skins cells around. Chuck out your old newspapers/mags so you're not leaving them things to chomp at."
