What are Silverfish?

Have you pulled a reserve off the rack or even opened an old wooden box and shout when these white unpleasant creatures dart off? We’re referring to silverfish.

Homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. When brought inside the house, cardboard boxes and plastic containers recently stored in infested areas can allow the pests to spread. The pests will enter homes through foundation cracks, torn screens, or gaps around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors.

These insects are cosmopolitan species And are observed in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and unique parts of the Pacific. They like to nest in moist areas in which temperature is beneficial, exceptionally humid among 75% and 95%. In urban areas particularly households, they are usually observed in attics, basements, bathtubs, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

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 carpet, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well because of the glue. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents is known as 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.

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

Spotting an Infestation

These creepy crawlers are proven to be nocturnal and they move around so quickly. Since they feed on starches and paste, most people become aware that if they see holes and yellow stains on their clothing or wardrobes, they understand that silverfish is the culprit.

As aforementioned, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold areas. They are found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers could be found in which masonry is still damp. During a famine, a silverfish may even attack leatherware and synthetic fabrics. Silverfish can live for a year or more without eating.

It takes 2 weeks to two months for silverfish eggs to hatch. Actually, the adult female and male carryout an interesting mating ritual which involves 3 phases that last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish is effective at putting out 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will flourish to grow into adults between 3 months to 3 decades.

Though they are responsible for household damages, silverfish holds no record in transmitting diseases. On the other hand, they’re food for other insects like earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders.

Controlling Silverfish Brooding

Though you may somehow reduce their brooding when you wash the household, it can’t guarantee that silverfish infestation will be completely eradicated. It will still be a wise decision if specialist pest management services will be taken for silverfish therapy.

Here are some reasons why having a professional silverfish treatment is a fantastic initiative:

If you suspect a silverfish infestation in the comfort of your home, it’s best to call the help of a licensed pest control professional. Here at Local Pest Control Eastern Suburbs, we guarantee free inspection offer and we’ll identify a recommended treatment tailor-fit to your requirement or concern.

Extremely happy with the services provided, we had a very knowledgeable technician Sean came to attend to the possum issue in our townhouse, Sean found the openings where the possums came in on the roof right away and patched them up. When the previous pest control company failed to do. But being a two level building with a separated garage roof, it was very difficult to trap the possums still inside, but Andrew the boss and Sean kept trying and finally got the problem all solved. Friendly to talk to and easy to work with so Highly recommended.

I had Benjamin from Local Pest Control come to our place on Monday because I was worried we had a spider problem. He identified a major funnel web spider situation. Benjamin was so thorough and considerate because I was very scared having three small children. He went above and beyond to make sure he spent as much time as needed to treat every single spider hole in our yard. He has arranged to come back in 2 weeks time just to make sure we are all safe for the Christmas period. So grateful for all his help. Highly recommend!

Great company, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and awesome results. Called Andrew and let him know what we were seeing. Andrew was wonderful, helped me determine what type of creepy crawlers we had in our home and was able to get someone out really quick. Adam came out to treat our apartment for cockroaches and from start to finish I was super impressed. Adam was friendly, answered all my questions, and gave me some insight and tips to help with our problem. Local Pest Control is a reliable and effective company who I won’t hesitate to call again! Highly recommend.

This is only a concern if the sprayed areas are still damp. If this occurs, clean with soap and lots of water as quickly as you can.
