What are Silverfish?

Have you pulled a book 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 have been on the ground hundreds of thousands of years in the past before dinosaurs. Meaning, insects like them have lived for 400 million years! They are small wingless bugs, with the fish-like appearance and are whitish-grey in colour. They are harmless and there’d been no recognised proof that they cause diseases or introduce poison, however, they are 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 households, they are commonly found in attics, basements, bathtubs, sinks, kitchens, older books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish devours whatever contains polysaccharides, as an instance, starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are used in book ties. Besides that, they feed on a floor covering, apparel, espresso, dandruff, stay, 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 seen as sustenance for these insects.

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

As previously mentioned, they may not cause large damage, however, they are viewed as a hassle and can deem damage to any items.

Spotting an Infestation

These creepy crawlers are proven to be nocturnal and they move around quickly. Since they feed on starches and paste, most individuals will be aware of their presence when they see holes and yellowish stains on their clothing or wardrobes. They understand that silverfish is present.

As above, silverfish loves moist, dark and cold locations. So, it’s better to inspect the bathroom, kitchen closets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are fresh buildings, large numbers could be found where masonry is still damp.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. Actually, the male and female carryout an interesting ritual that involves 3 phases and may last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay about 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Finally, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will operate on its way to become adults following three months to three decades.

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