What are Silverfish?

Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or even opened an old wooden box just to scream when these white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we’re talking about silverfish.

Silverfish have been present for a number of years, coexisting with ancient animals. Which means, bugs like them have been walking around the earth for 400 million years! They are little, wingless insects, with the fish-like look and give off a feeling of becoming whitish-grey in color. They are benign and there’s been no known evidence that they cause disorders or inflict poison, however, then they are viewed as a pest in homes and organisations.

These disagreeable crawlers are globally recognized and are found in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different portions of the Pacific. They settle in damp areas where the temperature is suitable for them, generally humid and about 75% and 95% in temperature. In Urban areas particularly families, they are usually found in storage rooms, basements, baths, sinks, kitchens, old 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, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well because these creatures feed on it due to the paste. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents is considered food for these insects.

These house insects are often found in dark and sheltered regions in the home. If not, they are likely undisturbed in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded locations.

They nestle in dark and sheltered areas in the household. If not, they are probably undiscovered in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places. They may not inflict any harm but they are considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any possessions.

Spotting an Infestation

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

As above, silverfish loves moist, dark and cold locations. So, it is better to inspect the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers could be found in which masonry is still damp.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In fact, the female and male carry out an exciting ritual which involves three phases and may last over half an hour. The feminine silverfish lay approximately 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. Finally, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will operate on its way to be adults following three months to three decades.

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

Cleaning the house doesn’t necessarily guarantee to lessen the number of silverfish. Therefore, most homeowners seek advice to professional pest management services to implement a customised treatment focused on silverfish eradication.
