What are Silverfish?

Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or even opened an old wooden box just to scream when these white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we are talking about silverfish.

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 becoming whitish-grey in color. They are harmless and there has been no known proof that they cause disorders or inflict poison, however, they are seen as a pest in homes as well as organisations.

Their presence 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 homes through base cracks, torn screens, or openings around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors. They are not known to spread illnesses but they are capable of triggering allergic reactions in certain people and further damage possessions. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish feed on anything that contains polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. They are also known to feed on carpeting, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well due to the glue. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents is considered food for these insects.

These house insects are often found in dark and sheltered regions in the household. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in bookshelves, cabinets, cabinets and secluded locations.

They nestle in dark and sheltered areas in the household. If not, they’re probably undiscovered in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and gated areas. They may not impose any harm but they are considered a nuisance and may be destructive to any possessions.

Spotting an Infestation

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

As aforementioned, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold areas. So, it’s better to inspect the bathroomkitchen closets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are fresh buildings, large numbers could be found where masonry is still damp.

It takes two weeks to two months for silverfish eggs to hatch. Actually, the adult male and female carryout an interesting mating ritual which involves 3 stages that last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish is effective at putting out 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will thrive to grow into adults between 3 months to 3 years.

In spite of the fact that they are in charge of family damages, silverfish holds no record to transmit illnesses. Then again, they are sustenance for different pests like earwigs, home centipedes, and insects.
