What are Silverfish?

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

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 located in basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. Moreover, silverfish are especially attracted to paper and damp clothing.

Silverfish don’t transmit diseases, but the pests can trigger allergies in some people and further damage possessions. Their existence occasionally attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to their strange appearance.

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 carpeting, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well because these creatures feed on it due to the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents is considered food for these insects.

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 need 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 are probably undiscovered in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places. They may not impose any harm but they are considered a nuisance and may be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

These creepy crawlers are proven to be nocturnal and they move around so quickly. Since they feed on starches and paste, most men and women become aware that if they see holes and yellow stains on their clothes or wardrobes, they know that silverfish is the culprit.

As previously mentioned, silverfish adores moist, dark and cold locations. Thus, it is more economical to assess the washroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, storage rooms and rooms. Typically, when there are new institutions, vast numbers might be found in which masonry is as moist?

Silverfish eggs generally take within 14 Days to 2 months to incubate. Indeed, the male and female carry out a fascinating habit that includes 3 phases and may last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and stored in small crevices. At the end, once the eggs hatch, the nymphs will cope on its way to move toward becoming adults after after 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 such as earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders.

Controlling Silverfish Brooding

Cleaning the house does not necessarily guarantee to lessen the number of silverfish. Therefore, most homeowners seek advice to professional pest management services to implement a customised treatment focused on silverfish eradication.
