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 has been on earth 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 colour. They’re 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.

Their existence is sometimes undetected and homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. Once inside, they find a safe dark and damp place where they can nestle and breed, and over time spread everywhere. These pests will enter houses through foundation 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 absorbs anything that includes polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are available in book bindings. Aside from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, pictures, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well due to the fact that these creatures feed on it due to the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered meals for those pests.

These neighbourhood dreadful creatures regularly nestled in dim and safe places in the household. If not, they are likely undisturbed in publication racks, organizers, storage rooms and segregated spots.

They nestle in dark and sheltered areas in the household. If not, they are likely undisturbed in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and gated areas. They may not impose any harm but they are considered a nuisance and may be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are parasitic insects and they move around so fast. Their main diet entails starch-rich matter and those that contain paste. Most people can easily identify their presence since they leave stains on clothes and wardrobes.

As previously mentioned, silverfish adores moist, cold and dark areas. Thus, it is more economical to assess 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 moist?

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

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