What are Silverfish?

They are not just crawlers but can dart off high as well with our naked eyes detecting. Aside from boxes and bookshelves, they’re also found in basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. Moreover, silverfish are especially attracted to paper and damp clothing.

These insects are cosmopolitan species And are observed in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and unique parts of the Pacific. They like to nest in moist areas where temperature is beneficial, exceptionally humid among 75% and 95%. In urban areas particularly households, they are typically observed in attics, basements, bathtubs, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish absorbs anything that contains polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Apart from that, they feed on carpet, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because these creatures feed on it because of the glue. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents are considered food for those pests.

These neighbourhood dreadful creatures regularly nestled in dim and safe areas in the household. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in publication racks, organizers, storage rooms and segregated spots.

They nestle in dark and sheltered areas in the household. Otherwise, they’re probably undiscovered in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places. They may not inflict any harm but they are considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are parasitic insects and they move around so fast. Their main diet entails starch-rich matter and those that contain paste. Most people can easily identify their presence since they leave stains on clothes and wardrobes.

As above, silverfish enjoys moist, dark and cold locations. So, it is better to inspect the bathroom, kitchen closets, underneath the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new infrastructures, enormous numbers might be found in which masonry remains damp.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In fact, the male and female carry out an exciting ritual which involves three phases and might last over 30 minutes. The feminine silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Finally, 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 are food for other insects like earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders
