What are Silverfish?

Have you pulled a book off the rack or even opened an old wooden box and just scream when these white unpleasant creatures dart off? We’re referring to silverfish.

Silverfish have been existing for a number of years, coexisting with historical animals. Which means, bugs like them have been walking around the earth for 400 million years! They are little, wingless insects, with the fish-like appearance and give off a feeling 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 viewed as a pest in homes and organisations.

These creepy crawlers are cosmopolitan species found in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and other sections of the Pacific. They love to nestle moist areas where temperature is favourable, relatively humid between 75% and 95%. In urban areas specifically households, they are commonly found in attics, basements, bathtubs, sinks, kitchens, older 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, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because these creatures feed on it due to the paste. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents is regarded as food for these insects.

These domestic creepy crawlers are often found in darkened and dark areas in the home. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in book shelves, cabinets, cabinets and secluded places.

As previously mentioned, they may not cause large damage, however, they are seen as a hassle and can deem damage to any products.

Spotting an Infestation

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

As above, silverfish loves moist, dark and cold areas. They are found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, whenever there are new buildings, large numbers may be found in which masonry is still damp. 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 two months to hatch. In reality, the male and female carry out an exciting ritual which involves three phases and might last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. Eventually, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to be adults after three months to three decades.

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 like earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders.
