What are Silverfish?

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

Silverfish has been on the planet millions of years ago before dinosaurs. Meaning, bugs like them have lived 400 million years! They are small wingless insects, with fish-like appearance and appear to be whitish-gray in color. 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 creepy crawlers are cosmopolitan species found in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and other parts of the Pacific. They love to nestle moist areas where temperature is favourable, relatively humid between 75% and 95%. In urban areas specifically households, they are generally found in attics, bathrooms, bathrooms, sinks, kitchens, older 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. Aside from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too as these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents are considered food for these pests.

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

These national creepy crawlers are often found lurking in dark and sheltered areas in the home. If not, they are likely hiding between the nooks of the bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places. They may not impose any harm, and nothing has ever been recorded, however, they are considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are categorised as nocturnal pests and they go around so quickly. Since they voraciously consume on starch-rich items and glue, most people can easily identify their presence since they leave stains on clothes and wardrobes.

As aforementioned, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold areas. So, it’s better to inspect the bathroom, kitchen closets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are fresh buildings, large numbers could be found in which masonry is still damp.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In reality, the female and male carry out an exciting ritual which involves three phases and might last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay around 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.

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.

Controlling Silverfish Brooding

Cleaning the house doesn’t necessarily guarantee to lessen the amount of silverfish. Therefore, most homeowners seek advice to professional pest control services to implement a customised treatment focused on silverfish eradication.

Here are a few reasons why having an expert silverfish treatment is the very best initiative:

• Reduces the risk of infestation
• Monitors other related pest problems overtime
• They can determine the extent of infestation
