What are Silverfish?

Silverfish are pest that are commonly found in dwelling in drawers or boxes in sheds and garages. Silverfish are known for their destructive feeding habits, oftentimes ruining newspapers, clothing and background. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, particularly sugars and starches. Cellulose, shampoos, paste in books, linen, silk and dead insects might be food sources. These white creepy creatures can dart off easily. They are mostly found in basements, attics, kitchens and baths. Furthermore, silverfish are especially attracted to paper and moist clothing.

Silverfish have been on the ground thousands and thousands of years previously before dinosaurs. Meaning, insects like them have lived for 400 million years! They are small wingless bugs, with the fish-like look and are whitish-grey in colour. They are benign and there’d been no recognised proof that they cause diseases or introduce poison, however, they are considered pests in homes and businesses.

Silverfish don’t transmit diseases, but the pests can trigger allergies in some people and further damage possessions. Their presence occasionally attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of 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 carpet, clothing, java, 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.

Silverfish are cosmopolitan species, meaning to say, they are common and are found in Africa, the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia and other parts of the Pacific. They live in moist areas that require a relative humidity between 75% and 95%. In urban areas, they can be located in basements and attics.

They nestle in dark and sheltered areas in the household. Otherwise, they’re probably undiscovered 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

These creepy crawlers are proven to be nocturnal and they move around fast. Since they feed on starches and paste, most people will be aware of their existence when they see holes and yellow stains on their clothing or wardrobes. They understand that silverfish is present.

They are located hiding in dark and damp nooks of the toilet, kitchen cabinets, 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 fabrics. Silverfish can live for a year or more without eating.

It takes two weeks to 2 months for silverfish eggs to hatch. Actually, the adult male and female carryout an interesting mating ritual which involves 3 stages that last over half an hour. The feminine silverfish is effective at putting out 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will flourish to develop into adults between 3 weeks to 3 decades.
