What are Silverfish?

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

Homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. When brought inside the home, cardboard boxes and plastic containers recently stored in infested areas can allow the pests to spread. The pests will enter homes through foundation cracks, torn screens, or openings around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors.

These unpleasant crawlers are globally recognized and are located in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different parts of the Pacific. They settle in damp areas in which the temperature is appropriate for them, generally humid and about 75% and 95 percent in temperature. In Urban areas particularly families, they are usually found in storage rooms, bathrooms, bathrooms, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Both adults and larvae love to feed on carpet, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because these creatures feed on it due to the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents is considered food for these insects.

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

As aforementioned, they may not impose any harm, however they are considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are proven 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 aforementioned, silverfish loves moist, dark and cold areas. So, it’s better to inspect the bathroomkitchen closets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are fresh buildings, large numbers could be found in which masonry remains damp.

Silverfish eggs generally take within 14 Days to 2 months to incubate. Indeed, the male and female carry out a fascinating custom that includes 3 phases and may last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and kept in tiny crevices. At the end, once the eggs hatch, the nymphs will cope on its way to move toward becoming adults following after three months to three decades.

On the other hand, they’re food for other insects such as earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders
