What are Silverfish?

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

They are not just crawlers but can dart off high as well without our naked eyes noticing. Aside from boxes and bookshelves, they are also found in basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. Furthermore, silverfish are especially attracted to paper and moist clothing.

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 breed, and over time spread anywhere. 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 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 absorbs anything that includes polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which can be found in book bindings. Apart from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, images, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because of the fact that these creatures feed on it due to the paste. Overall, anything which has polysaccharide contents are considered meals for those pests.

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

As above, they may not inflict any harm, but they are regarded as a nuisance and can be unfavourable to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

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

They are found hiding in dark and moist nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers may be found where 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 generally take within 14 Days to two months to incubate. Indeed, the female and male carry out a fascinating habit that includes 3 phases and might last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay about 60 eggs and stored in small crevices. At the end, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will cope on its way to move toward becoming adults following after three months to three years.

On the other hand, they are food for other insects like earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders
