What are Silverfish?

Have you ever wondered that when you open a book you found a tiny and white creature nestled in between the pages? That is a silverfish. Commonly found in old boxes, drawers and bookshelves, these creatures are known to be harmful pests. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, especially sugars and starches. They have voracious feeding habits, oftentimes ruining papers, clothing and wallpaper.

Silverfish has been on the planet millions of years ago before dinosaurs. Meaning, bugs like them have lived 400 million years! They are small wingless insects, with fish-like appearance and appear to be whitish-gray in colour. They’re harmless and there have been no known evidence that they cause diseases or inject poison but then they are considered pests in homes and businesses.

These unpleasant crawlers are globally recognized and are found in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different parts of the Pacific. They settle in moist areas where the temperature is suitable for them, generally humid and about 75% and 95 percent in temperature. In Urban areas particularly households, they are usually found in storage rooms, basements, baths, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish absorbs anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Apart from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well because these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered food for these pests.

These house insects are often found in dark and sheltered regions in the household. If not, they are likely undisturbed in bookshelves, cabinets, cabinets and secluded locations.

They nestle in dark and sheltered areas in the household. If not, they are probably undiscovered in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places. They may not inflict any harm but they are considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any possessions.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are known to be nocturnal and they move around so quickly. Since they feed on starches and paste, most people become mindful that if they see openings and yellowish stains in their attire or closets, they understand that silverfish is the culprit.

As above, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold locations. They are found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, whenever there are new buildings, large amounts could be found in which masonry is still damp. During a famine, a silverfish may even attack leatherware and synthetic fabrics. Silverfish can live for a year or more without eating.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. Actually, the male and female carryout an interesting ritual that involves 3 phases and may last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Eventually, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will operate on its way to become adults after three months to three years.

Though they are responsible for household damages, silverfish holds no record in transmitting diseases. On the other hand, they’re food for other insects such as earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders.
