What are Silverfish?

Silverfish are pest that are commonly found in dwelling in boxes or drawers in garages and sheds. Silverfish are known for their destructive feeding habits, oftentimes ruining newspapers, clothing and background. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, particularly sugars and starches. Cellulose, shampoos, glue in books, linen, silk and dead insects might be food sources. These white creepy creatures can dart off easily. They are mostly found in basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. Furthermore, silverfish are especially attracted to paper and moist clothing.

Silverfish have been existing for a number of years, coexisting with historical animals. Which means, bugs like them have been walking round the earth for 400 million years! They are little, wingless insects, with the fish-like appearance and give off a feeling of being whitish-grey in color. They are harmless and there has been no known evidence that they cause illnesses or inflict poison, however, they are seen as a pest in homes as well as organisations.

Their presence is sometimes undetected and homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. Once inside, they find a secure dark and damp place where they can nestle and strain, and over time spread everywhere. These pests will enter houses through base cracks, torn screens, or gaps around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish inside. They are not known to spread illnesses but they are capable of triggering allergic reactions in certain people and further damage possessions. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish feed on anything that contains polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. They are also known to feed on carpeting, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well due to the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents is known as food for these insects.

Silverfish are common insect species and are abundant in Africa, the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia and other parts of the Pacific. They inhabit moist areas with relative humidity between 75 percent and 95%.

These domestic creepy crawlers are often found lurking in dark and sheltered areas in the home. Otherwise, they are likely hiding between the nooks of the bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places. They may not inflict any harm, and nothing has ever been recorded, however, they are regarded as a nuisance and can be harmful to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

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

As previously mentioned, silverfish enjoys moist, dark and cold locations. Thus, it is smarter to check the washroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, storage rooms and rooms. Typically, when there are new institutions, vast numbers might be found in which masonry is as yet moist?

It takes 2 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 half an hour. The feminine silverfish is capable of laying out 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will flourish to develop into adults between 3 months to 3 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 insects like earwigs, home centipedes, and insects.
