What are Silverfish?

Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or could be opened an old wooden container only to get surprised while those white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we are 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’re also located in basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. Furthermore, silverfish are especially drawn to paper and moist clothing.

Their existence 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 everywhere. These pests will enter houses through foundation cracks, torn screens, or gaps around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish inside. They are not known to spread illnesses but they are capable of triggering allergic reactions in some people and further damage properties. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes whatever that includes polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are available in book bindings. Apart from that, they feed on carpet, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, pictures, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too due to the fact that these creatures feed on it due to the paste. Overall, anything which has polysaccharide contents are considered meals for those pests.

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. They live in moist areas that need a relative humidity between 75% and 95%. In urban areas, they can be found in basements and attics.

As aforementioned, they may not impose any harm, however they’re considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

These creepy crawlers are proven to be nocturnal and they move around fast. Since they feed on starches and paste, most people will be conscious of their presence when they see holes and yellow stains on their clothing or wardrobes. They understand that silverfish is present.

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

Silverfish eggs generally take within 14 Days to 2 months to incubate. Indeed, the male and female carry out a fascinating habit that includes 3 phases and may last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay about 60 eggs and kept in small crevices. At the end, once the eggs hatch, the nymphs will cope on its way to move toward becoming adults after after three months to three years.

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