What are Silverfish?

Have you pulled a reserve off the rack or even opened an old wooden box and just scream when these white unpleasant creatures dart off? We are referring to silverfish.

Homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. When brought inside the home, cardboard boxes and plastic containers recently stored in infested areas can allow the pests to spread. The pests will enter houses through foundation cracks, torn screens, or openings around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors.

Silverfish don’t transmit diseases, but the pests may trigger allergies in some people and further damage possessions. Their presence sometimes 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. Apart from that, they feed on carpet, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well as these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered food for these pests.

Silverfish are common insect species and are abundant in Africa, the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia and other parts of the Pacific. They inhabit moist areas with relative humidity between 75 percent and 95%.

As previously mentioned, they may not cause large damage, however, they are seen as an annoyance and can deem damage to any items.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are nocturnal pests and they move around so quickly. Their main diet involves starch-rich matter and those that contain paste. Most people can easily identify their presence since they leave stains on clothes and wardrobes.

As above, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold areas. They’re found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when 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 two months to incubate. Indeed, the female and male carry out a fascinating custom that includes 3 stages and may last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and stored in tiny crevices. At the end, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will deal on its way to move toward becoming adults after after three months to three decades.

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.
