Identifying Firebrat
Firebrats are small, wingless insects closely related to silverfish. They prefer warm, humid environments and are often found in bakeries, boiler rooms, or attics. Their diet includes carbohydrates like starches and sugars, often sourced from paper, book bindings, and fabrics. While they do not pose direct health risks to humans, firebrats can damage household items over time. Their name comes from their tendency to inhabit warm areas, not because they are dangerous or related to fire in any way.
