What are Silverfish?

Have you pulled a reserve off the rack or even opened an old wooden box and just scream when these white unpleasant creatures dart off? We are 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 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 are considered pests in homes and businesses.

Their existence is sometimes undetected and homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. Once inside, they find a secure dark and damp place where they can nestle and breed, and over time spread everywhere. These pests will enter houses through foundation cracks, torn screens, or gaps 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 some 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, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Aside from that, they feed on carpet, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because these creatures feed on it because of the glue. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents are considered food for those pests.

Silverfish are common insect 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 darkened and dark areas in the home. If not, they are likely hiding in between the nooks of the bookshelves, cabinets, cabinets and secluded places. They may not impose any harm, and nothing has ever been recorded, however, they are regarded as a nuisance and can be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are categorised 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 presence because they leave stains on clothes and wardrobes.

They are located hiding in dark and moist nooks of the toilet, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers may be found in which masonry is still moist. 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 two months to hatch. In reality, the female and male carry out an exciting ritual that involves three phases and might last over half an hour. The feminine 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 decades.

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, home centipedes, and spiders.
