Silverfish Control

What are Silverfish?

Have you ever wondered that when you start a book you found a little and white monster nestled in between the pages? That’s a silverfish. Commonly found in old boxes, drawers and bookshelves, these creatures are known to be harmful pests. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, especially sugars and starches. They have voracious feeding habits, oftentimes ruining papers, clothes and wallpaper.

Silverfish have been present for a number of years, coexisting with historical animals. Which means, bugs like them have been walking round the earth for 400 million years! They are little, wingless insects, with the fish-like appearance and give off a feeling of becoming whitish-grey in color. They are benign and there has been no known proof that they cause illnesses or inflict poison, however, then they are viewed as a pest in homes as well as organisations.

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 commonly found in attics, basements, bathtubs, sinks, kitchens, older books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish feed on anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. They are also known to feed on carpet, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers aren’t an exception as well because of the glue. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents is considered food for these insects.

These neighbourhood dreadful creatures regularly nestled in dim and safe places in the household. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in book racks, organizers, storage rooms and segregated spots.

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 inflict any harm, and nothing has ever been recorded, however, they are regarded as a nuisance and may be harmful to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are proven to be nocturnal and they move around so quickly. Since they feed on starches and glue, most people become mindful that if they see openings and yellowish stains in their attire or cupboards, they know that silverfish is the culprit.

They are found hiding in dark and damp 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 moist. During a famine, a silverfish may even attack leatherware and synthetic fabrics. Silverfish can live for a year or more without eating.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In fact, the female and male carry out an exciting ritual which involves three phases and may last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay approximately 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. Finally, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to be adults after three months to three years.

On the other hand, they are food for other insects like earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders
