What are Silverfish?

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

Silverfish have been on the ground thousands and thousands of years previously before dinosaurs. Meaning, insects like them have lived for 400 million years! They are small wingless bugs, with the fish-like look and are whitish-grey in colour. They are harmless and there had been no acknowledged proof that they cause diseases or introduce poison, however, they may be considered pests in homes and businesses.

These creepy crawlers are cosmopolitan species found in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and other 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, basements, bathtubs, sinks, kitchens, older books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish absorbs anything that contains polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Both adults and larvae like to feed on carpeting, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well because these creatures feed on it due to the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents is regarded as food for these pests.

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.

As previously mentioned, they may not cause massive damage, however, they are viewed as an annoyance and can deem damage to any products.

Spotting an Infestation

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

As aforementioned, silverfish loves moist, dark and cold areas. So, it is better to inspect the bathroomkitchen closets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are fresh buildings, large numbers may be found in which masonry remains damp.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In fact, the female and male carryout an interesting ritual that involves 3 phases and might last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. Finally, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to become adults following three months to three decades.

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