What are Silverfish?

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

Silverfish have been on the earth 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 benign and there had been no recognised proof that they cause diseases or introduce toxin, however, they may be considered pests in houses and businesses.

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 families, they are commonly found in attics, bathrooms, bathrooms, sinks, kitchens, older books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Both adults and larvae love to 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 due to the paste. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents is considered food for these insects.

These national creepy crawlers are often found in darkened and dark areas in the home. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in book shelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places.

As previously mentioned, they may not cause massive damage, however, they are viewed as a hassle 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 glue, most people become mindful that should they see openings and yellowish stains in their attire or closets, they know that silverfish is the offender.

They are found 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 where masonry is still damp. 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 2 months to hatch. In fact, the male and female carryout an interesting ritual that involves 3 phases and may last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay around 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.

In spite of the fact that they are in charge of family damages, silverfish holds no record to transmit illnesses. Then again, they are sustenance for different pests like earwigs, home centipedes, and insects.
