What are Silverfish?

Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or even opened an old wooden box just to scream when these white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we are 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 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.

Their presence is sometimes undetected and homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. Once inside, they find a safe dark and damp place where they can nestle and breed, and over time spread anywhere. These pests will enter homes 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 because of their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish absorbs anything that includes polysaccharides, such as 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, images, 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 national creepy crawlers are often found in darkened and dark areas in the home. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in book shelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places.

As above, they may not impose any harm, however they are considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

These creepy crawlers are known to be nocturnal and they move around fast. Since they feed on starches and paste, most individuals will be aware of their existence when they see holes and yellowish stains on their clothes or wardrobes. They understand that silverfish is present.

They are found hiding in dark and moist nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers may be found in which masonry is still moist. During a famine, a silverfish may even attack leatherware and synthetic materials. Silverfish can live for a year or more without eating.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to 2 months to hatch. In fact, the female and male carryout an interesting ritual which involves 3 phases and might last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. Eventually, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will operate on its way to become adults after three months to three years.

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