Silverfish have been existing for a number of years, coexisting with ancient animals. Which means, bugs like them have been walking round the earth for 400 million years! They are little, wingless insects, with the fish-like appearance and give off an impression of being whitish-grey in color. They are harmless and there has been no known proof that they cause illnesses or inflict poison, however, then they are seen as a pest in homes and organisations.

Silverfish don’t transmit diseases, but the pests can trigger allergies in some people and additional damage possessions. Their existence occasionally attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to their strange appearance.

Silverfish devours whatever contains polysaccharides, as an instance, starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are used in book ties. Besides that, they feed on a floor covering, apparel, espresso, dandruff, stick, hair, a few paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well as these pests feed on it because of the glue. By and large, anything that’s polysaccharide substance is seen as sustenance for these insects.

Silverfish are cosmopolitan species, meaning to say, they are common and are found in Africa, the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia and other parts of the Pacific.

It takes two weeks to two months for silverfish eggs to hatch. In fact, the adult male and female carryout an interesting mating ritual that involves 3 phases that last over half an hour. The feminine silverfish is capable of laying out 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will thrive to develop into adults between 3 months to 3 decades.

On the other hand, they’re food for other insects such as earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders
