What are Silverfish?

Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or may be opened an old wooden container only to get amased 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. Apart from boxes and bookshelves, they are also found in basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. Furthermore, silverfish are especially drawn to paper and damp clothing.

These insects are cosmopolitan species And are observed in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and unique parts of the Pacific. They like to nest in moist areas where temperature is beneficial, exceptionally humid among 75% and 95%. In urban areas particularly households, they are usually observed in attics, basements, bathtubs, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish feed on anything that contains polysaccharides, such as 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 aren’t an exception as well because of the glue. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents is considered food for these insects.

These local dreadful creatures regularly nestled in dim and secure places in the household. If not, they are likely undisturbed in publication racks, organizers, storage rooms and segregated spots.

They nestle in dark and sheltered areas in the household. If not, they’re likely undisturbed 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 proven to be nocturnal and they move around so fast. Since they feed on starches and glue, most people become mindful that if they see openings and yellowish stains in their attire or closets, they know that silverfish is the offender.

As above, silverfish loves moist, dark and cold locations. So, it is better to inspect the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers may be found in which masonry remains damp.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In fact, the male and female carryout an interesting ritual which involves 3 phases and may last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. Eventually, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to become adults following 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 are food for other insects like earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders.
