What are Silverfish?

Silverfish are pest that are commonly found in dwelling in boxes or drawers in sheds and garages. Silverfish are known for their destructive feeding habits, oftentimes ruining papers, clothing and background. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, especially sugars and starches. Cellulose, shampoos, paste in books, linen, silk and dead insects may be food sources. These white creepy creatures can dart off easily. They are mostly found in basements, attics, kitchens and baths. Furthermore, silverfish are especially attracted to paper and moist clothing.

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 a feeling of becoming whitish-grey in color. They are harmless and there’s been no known proof that they cause illnesses or inflict poison, however, they are viewed as a pest in homes and organisations.

Their existence 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 strain, and over time spread everywhere. These pests will enter houses through base cracks, torn screens, or gaps around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish inside. 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 because of their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish absorbs anything that includes polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are available in book bindings. Apart 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 due to the fact that these creatures feed on it due to the paste. Overall, anything which has polysaccharide contents are considered foods for those pests.

These house insects are often found in dark and sheltered regions in the home. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in bookshelves, cabinets, cabinets and secluded locations.

As aforementioned, they may not inflict any harm, but they are regarded as a nuisance and can be unfavourable to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

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

As aforementioned, silverfish enjoys moist, dark and cold locations. So, it is better to inspect the bathroom, kitchen closets, underneath the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new infrastructures, massive numbers may 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 that involves three phases and might last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. Eventually, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to be adults after three months to three decades.

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