The young look identical to the adults, but are smaller. Silverfish and firebrats have two long antennae on their heads and three tail-like appendages on the tips of their abdomens. The five appendages are approximately as long as the body. Silverfish have uniformly colored silver bodies while firebrats have mottled gray-brown colored bodies.

- SquirrelsSeal, raise, cleanup, discard and store could be a mantra for mouse prevention. Seal utility entrances and attic vents with metal flashing or heavy mesh and install door sweeps and thresholds. Raise woodpiles off the ground one foot and move them away from the house at least six feet. Wrap outdoor pet cage legs with sheet metal if mice have been climbing them. Do not allow leaf and yard debris to accumulate. Move compost piles well away from the house and keep weeds and brush cutback from the home’s foundation. Recycle all clutter that could make a nice mouse condo, especially straw and paper. Store pet food, indoors or out, in metal or hard plastic containers that resist gnawing. Maybe the hardest one, but stop feeding the birds and squirrels as mice will scavenge the spilled seeds and see them as an invitation to come inside for a buffet.
