Mi sono trasferito in Germania un paio di mesi fa e queste cose sono OVUNQUE. A casa mia, nei bagni degli uffici, ecc.

Paperfish. They feed on paper and are very difficult to get rid of once they have infested your home.
Silberfischchen if it’s moist or Papierfischchen if it’s not. Remove them with traps or spray. If they are visible, you got a lot.
Silverfish (Silberfischchen). Not really considered a pest but some people find them gross. This one is a pretty adult specimen.
A silverfish (Silberfischchen).
They are harmless and like dark, moist and warm areas like baths. If you encounter them regularly, you might need to vent your air more often.
They mostly eat dust, hairs and mold. They can survive for multiple months without food intake, but can only reproduce when it’s warm and moist enough for them.
That’s a Silverfish
Silver fishes, they are friendly
As pointed out. That’s a silverfish. You find them more often in the Winter when it becomes cold outside. By themselves they aren’t an issue but they can be an indicator of high moisture which might become an issue with Mold.
So make sure to air out especially moist rooms like Bathrooms or kitchen regularly. You can also get traps for them if you want to get rid of them
Paperfish, a Pest, very hard if not impossible to get rid of now. Permetrin spray is great to keep their population at bay. The lucky part. Due to new law in 2025 most sellers stopped selling these products in their Shops and their alternatives are, judging by reviews, bad.
That’s a paperfish (Ctenolepisma longicaudata).
You can tell because its antennae and tail filaments are about as long as its body and it looks darker and more matte than a regular silverfish. They can be controlled quite well with silverfish gel or spray (which also works against paperfish).
Silberfisch.
I hate them with passion, but guess what, my cat loves them! She hunts and eat them every night, jumping into the Bathtub and sink looking for them small devils.
These arent Silberfischchen like most people say here,,these are Papierfischchen, an invasive species impossible to get out. They eat paper. Google both to see the difference, and kill them if you see one.
Basicallzmz Slberfischen are smaller and their sensor things in the back are shortet
they eat dead skin from the floor at night and kill small parasites
Drop lavender or cedar essential oil on a cotton ball and put it in corners in the bathroom (or wherever you’re seeing these) as a natural repellent.
I always laugh my ass off when I see posts like this. Please take a cleaning bucket and clean your apartment then this won’t happen, but unfortunately people can’t do that anymore. They don’t clean, they don’t maintain hygiene and then these critters just crawl around and have fun with it.
