What are Silverfish?

Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or may be opened an old wooden container simply to get amased while those white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we’re 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 make it possible for the pests to spread. The pests will enter homes through foundation cracks, torn screens, or gaps around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors.

Silverfish do not transmit diseases, but the pests can trigger allergies in some people and further damage properties. Their presence occasionally attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish absorbs anything that contains polysaccharides, like 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 because of 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 require a relative humidity between 75% and 95%. In urban areas, they can be located in basements and attics.

As aforementioned, they may not inflict any injury, but they are considered a nuisance and can 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 paste, most people become mindful that if they see openings and yellowish stains on their attire or closets, they know that silverfish is the culprit.

As aforementioned, silverfish likes moist, dark and cold areas. So, it’s better to inspect the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, underneath the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new infrastructures, enormous numbers might be discovered in which masonry remains damp.

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 may last over 30 minutes. The feminine silverfish lay approximately 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Finally, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will operate on its way to be adults after three months to three years.

Regardless of the fact that they are in charge of household damages, silverfish holds no record to transmit illnesses. Then again, they are sustenance for different pests like earwigs, home centipedes, and insects.
