What are Silverfish?

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

Silverfish have been on the ground thousands and thousands of years in the past 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 harmless and there’d been no recognised proof that they cause diseases or introduce poison, however, they may be considered pests in homes and businesses.

Their presence is sometimes undetected and homeowners frequently transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. Once inside, they find a safe dark and damp place where they can nestle and breed, and over time spread everywhere. These pests will enter houses through base cracks, torn screens, or openings around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors. They are not known to spread illnesses but they are capable of triggering allergic reactions in some people and further damage properties. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to 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. Aside from that, they feed on carpet, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, pictures, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because of the fact that these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that 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 found in basements and attics.

They nestle in dark and sheltered areas in the household. If not, they’re probably undiscovered in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and gated areas. They may not inflict 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 fast. Since they feed on starches and paste, most people 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 areas. Thus, it is smarter to check the washroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, storage rooms and basements. Typically, when there are new institutions, vast numbers might be found in which masonry is as yet moist?

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In fact, the adult male and female carryout an interesting mating ritual which involves 3 stages and lasts over half an hour. The female silverfish is capable of laying out 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will thrive to develop into adults between 3 weeks to 3 decades.

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

Controlling Silverfish Brooding

Cleaning the house and surrounding areas do not completely eradicate silverfish. These pests are quite difficult to get rid of it requires assistance from pest control professionals. This is because no generic insecticides or pesticides can poison the silverfish brooding.

• Reduces the risk of infestation
• Monitors other related pest problems overtime
