What are Silverfish?

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

Silverfish have been existing for a number of years, coexisting with ancient animals. Which means, bugs like them have been walking around the ground for 400 million years! They are little, wingless insects, with the fish-like look and give off an impression of being whitish-grey in color. They are benign and there’s been no known evidence that they cause illnesses or inflict poison, however, then they are viewed as a pest in homes as well as organisations.

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

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes whatever that includes polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which can be found in book bindings. Aside from that, they feed on carpeting, 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 that has polysaccharide contents are considered meals for those pests.

These national creepy crawlers are often found in dark and sheltered areas in the home. If not, they are likely undisturbed in book shelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places.

As above, they may not inflict any injury, but they are regarded as a nuisance and may be unfavourable to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are known to be nocturnal and they move around so quickly. Since they feed on starches and glue, most people become mindful that if they see openings and yellowish stains on their attire or closets, they understand that silverfish is the offender.

As aforementioned, silverfish loves moist, dark and cold locations. They are found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large amounts may 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 usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In reality, the male and female carry out an exciting ritual which involves three phases and might last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. Finally, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to be adults following three months to three decades.

Though they are responsible for household damages, silverfish holds no record in transmitting diseases. On the other hand, they are food for other insects like earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders.
