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 animals are known to be destructive pests. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, especially sugars and starches. They have voracious feeding habits, oftentimes ruining papers, clothes and wallpaper.

Silverfish has been on the planet millions of years ago before dinosaurs. Meaning, bugs like them have survived 400 million years! They are small wingless insects, with fish-like appearance and appear to be whitish-gray in colour. They’re benign and there have been no known evidence that they cause diseases or inject poison but then they are considered pests in homes and businesses.

These unpleasant crawlers are globally recognized and are located in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different portions of the Pacific. They settle in moist areas in which the temperature is appropriate for them, generally humid and about 75% and 95% in temperature. In Urban areas particularly families, they are generally found in storage rooms, basements, baths, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes anything that contains polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Both adults and larvae love to feed on carpeting, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because these creatures feed on it due to the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents is regarded as food for these insects.

These house insects are often found in dark and sheltered regions in the home. If not, they are likely undisturbed in bookshelves, cabinets, cabinets and secluded locations.

They nestle in dark and sheltered areas in the household. Otherwise, they are probably undiscovered in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and gated areas. They may not impose any harm but they are considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any possessions.

Spotting an Infestation

These creepy crawlers are proven to be nocturnal and they move around so fast. Since they feed on starches and paste, most men and women become aware that if they see holes and yellow stains on their clothes or wardrobes, they know that silverfish is the offender .

They are located 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 where masonry is still damp. 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. Actually, the female and male carryout an interesting ritual that involves 3 phases and might last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. Finally, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will operate on its way to become adults following three months to three years.
