What are Silverfish?

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

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 look and appear to be whitish-gray in color. They’re harmless and there have been no known evidence that they cause diseases or inject poison but then they’re considered pests in homes and businesses.

These creepy crawlers are cosmopolitan species found in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different sections of the Pacific. They love to nestle moist areas where temperature is favourable, relatively humid between 75% and 95%. In urban areas specifically families, they are commonly found in attics, bathrooms, bathrooms, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish devours whatever contains polysaccharides, as an example, starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are used in book ties. Besides that, they feed on a floor covering, apparel, espresso, dandruff, stick, hair, a few paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well as these pests feed on it because of the glue. By and large, anything that has polysaccharide substance is viewed as sustenance for these pests.

These domestic creepy crawlers are often found in dark and sheltered areas in the household. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in book shelves, cabinets, cabinets and secluded places.

As aforementioned, 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 proven to be nocturnal and they move around fast. Since they feed on starches and paste, most individuals will be conscious of their presence when they see holes and yellowish stains on their clothes or wardrobes. They understand that silverfish is present.

As above, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold locations. They are found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cabinets, 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.

It takes 2 weeks to two months for silverfish eggs to hatch. In fact, the adult male and female carryout an interesting mating ritual which involves 3 phases that last over half an hour. The feminine silverfish is effective at putting out 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will flourish to grow into adults between 3 months to 3 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 such as earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders.
