What are Silverfish?

Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or could be opened an old wooden container simply to get surprised while those white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we are talking about silverfish.

They are not just crawlers but can dart off high as well with our naked eyes noticing. Apart from boxes and bookshelves, they are also located in basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. Moreover, silverfish are especially attracted to paper and damp clothing.

Their existence 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 strain, and over time spread everywhere. These 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. They are not known to spread illnesses but they are capable of triggering allergic reactions in certain people and further damage possessions. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes anything that contains polysaccharides, such as 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 as well because these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents are considered food for those 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%.

They nestle in dark and sheltered areas in the household. If not, they’re likely undisturbed in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and gated areas. They may not inflict any harm but they are considered a nuisance and may be destructive to any possessions.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are classified as nocturnal pests and they move around so fast. Since they voraciously consume on starch-rich items and glue, most people can easily identify their existence because they leave stains on clothing and wardrobes.

As aforementioned, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold areas. So, it is better to inspect the bathroomkitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers could be found where masonry remains damp.

It takes two weeks to two months for silverfish eggs to hatch. Actually, the adult male and female carryout an interesting mating ritual which involves 3 stages that last over 30 minutes. The feminine silverfish is effective at putting out 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will thrive to develop into adults between 3 months to 3 decades.

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