What are Silverfish?

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

Silverfish have been present for a number of years, coexisting with historical animals. Which means, bugs like them have been walking round the ground for 400 million years! They are little, wingless insects, with the fish-like look and give off an impression of becoming whitish-grey in color. They are benign and there has been no known evidence that they cause illnesses or inflict poison, however, then they are seen as a pest in homes as well as organisations.

These creepy crawlers are cosmopolitan species found in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and other parts 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 generally found in attics, bathrooms, bathrooms, sinks, kitchens, older books, and showers.

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, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well because of the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents is known as food for these pests.

These domestic creepy crawlers are often located in dark and sheltered areas in the home. If not, they are likely undisturbed in book shelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places.

They nestle in dark and sheltered areas in the household. Otherwise, they’re likely undisturbed in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and gated areas. They may not inflict any harm but they are considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

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

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

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In fact, the adult male and female carryout an interesting mating ritual which involves 3 stages and lasts over 30 minutes. The feminine silverfish is capable of laying out 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will thrive to grow into adults between 3 weeks to 3 years.

Though they are responsible for household damages, silverfish holds no record in transmitting diseases. On the other hand, they are food for other insects like earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders.
