What are Silverfish?

Silverfish has been on earth millions of years ago before dinosaurs. Meaning, bugs like them have lived 400 million years! They are small wingless insects, with fish-like look and appear to be whitish-gray in colour. They’re benign and there have been no known evidence that they cause diseases or inject poison but then they’re considered pests in homes and businesses.

These disagreeable crawlers are globally recognized and are located in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different portions of the Pacific. They settle in damp areas where the temperature is appropriate for them, generally humid and about 75% and 95 percent in temperature. In Urban areas particularly families, they are generally found in storage rooms, bathrooms, bathrooms, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes anything that contains polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Both adults and larvae love to feed on carpeting, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents is considered food for these pests.

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

As above, they may not impose any harm, however they are considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are categorised as nocturnal pests and they move around so quickly. Since they voraciously consume on starch-rich items and glue, most people can easily identify their presence because they leave stains on clothing and wardrobes.

They are located hiding in dark and damp nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers may be found where masonry is still moist. During a famine, a silverfish may even attack leatherware and synthetic fabrics. Silverfish can live for a year or more without eating.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to 2 months to hatch. In fact, the male and female carryout an interesting ritual that involves 3 phases and might last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Eventually, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will operate on its way to become adults after three months to three years.

Though they are responsible for household damages, silverfish holds no record to be transmitting diseases. On the other hand, they’re food for other insects such as earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders.
