What are Silverfish?

Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or may be opened an old wooden container simply to get surprised while those white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we are talking about silverfish.

Silverfish has been on earth 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 are 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 creepy crawlers are cosmopolitan species found in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and other sections of the Pacific. They love to nestle moist areas where temperature is favourable, relatively humid between 75% and 95%. In urban areas specifically households, they are commonly found in attics, bathrooms, bathrooms, sinks, kitchens, older books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes anything that contains polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Apart from that, they feed on carpet, 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 because of the glue. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered food for these 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 found in basements and attics.

As previously mentioned, they may not cause large damage, however, they are seen as a hassle and can deem damage to any products.

Spotting an Infestation

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

As aforementioned, silverfish loves moist, dark and cold locations. They are found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cabinets, 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 generally take within 14 Days to 2 months to incubate. Indeed, the male and female carry out a fascinating habit that includes 3 stages and may last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and stored in tiny crevices. At the end, once the eggs hatch, the nymphs will deal on its way to move toward becoming adults following after three months to three years.

Though they’re accounted for household damages, silverfish holds no holds any record in transmitting diseases. On The alternative hand, they are food for different insects like earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders.
