What are Silverfish?

They are little, wingless insects, together with the fish-like look and give off an impression of becoming whitish-grey in color. They are harmless and there has been no known proof that they cause illnesses or inflict poison, however, they are viewed as a pest in homes as well as organisations.

Silverfish don’t transmit diseases, but the pests can trigger allergies in some people and additional damage properties. Their existence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes whatever that includes polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which can be found in book bindings. Apart from that, they feed on carpet, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, images, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too due to the fact that these creatures feed on it due to the paste. Overall, anything which has polysaccharide contents are considered foods for those pests.

Otherwise, they are likely hiding in between the nooks of the bookshelves, cabinets, cabinets and secluded places. They may not inflict any harm, and nothing has ever been recorded, however, they are considered a nuisance and can be harmful to any belongings.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to 2 months to hatch. Actually, the adult female and male carryout an interesting mating ritual that involves 3 stages and lasts over half an hour. The feminine silverfish is capable of laying out 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will thrive to develop into adults between 3 months to 3 decades.
