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 survived 400 million years! They are small wingless insects, with fish-like look and appear to be whitish-gray in color. They are 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.

These creepy crawlers are cosmopolitan species found in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different 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 generally found in attics, bathrooms, bathrooms, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish devours whatever comprises polysaccharides, as an example, starches and dextrins in adhesives, which can be 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 in addition to these pests feed on it because of the glue. By and large, anything that’s polysaccharide substance is viewed as sustenance for these insects.

These national creepy crawlers are often found in dark and sheltered areas in the household. If not, they are likely undisturbed in book shelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places.

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

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are categorised as nocturnal pests and they go around so quickly. Since they voraciously consume on starch-rich items and glue, most people can easily identify their presence because they leave stains on clothing and wardrobes.

They are located hiding in dark and moist nooks of the toilet, kitchen cabinets, 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.

It takes two weeks to 2 months for silverfish eggs to hatch. In fact, the adult male and female carryout an interesting mating ritual which involves 3 phases that last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish is capable of laying out 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will thrive to grow into adults between 3 weeks to 3 years.

On the other hand, they’re food for other insects such as earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders
