Silverfish

Dropping
Feces dropped by silverfish are very tiny and small, looks like ground pepper.
Holes
If there are holes in books, clothing, paper, or cardboard around your home, then there is a clear indication of having silverfish infestation at your home. Especially when these holes have yellow stains coupled with them or ground pepper-like droppings around them.
Molted Skin
When silverfish grows then they molt their skin. Their skin left behind can cause allergies to many house owners.
Stains
If there is yellow staining on books, drapes, clothing, etc then it is an indication of a silverfish infestation.
