What are Silverfish?

Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or may be opened an old wooden container simply to get surprised while those white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we’re talking about silverfish.

They are not just crawlers but can dart off high as well with our naked eyes noticing. Aside from boxes and bookshelves, they are also located in basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. Furthermore, silverfish are especially drawn to paper and damp clothing.

Their presence is sometimes undetected and homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. Once inside, they find a secure dark and damp place where they can nestle and strain, and over time spread anywhere. These pests will enter houses through base cracks, torn screens, or openings around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors. They are not known to spread illnesses but they are capable of triggering allergic reactions in some people and further damage possessions. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish feed on anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. They are also known to feed on carpeting, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well because of the paste. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents is known as food for these pests.

Silverfish are common pest species and are abundant in Africa, the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia and other parts of the Pacific. They occupy moist areas with relative humidity between 75% and 95%.

As above, they may not inflict any harm, but they are considered a nuisance and can be unfavourable to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are known to be nocturnal and they move around so quickly. Since they feed on starches and paste, most people become mindful that should they see openings and yellowish stains in their attire or cupboards, they know that silverfish is the culprit.

As above, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold areas. So, it is better to inspect the bathroom, kitchen closets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers may be found in which masonry is still damp.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In fact, the female and male carry out an exciting ritual that involves three phases and might last over 30 minutes. The feminine silverfish lay approximately 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Eventually, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will operate on its way to be adults after three months to three decades.

On the other hand, they’re food for other insects like earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders
