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 papers, clothing and background. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, especially sugars and starches. Cellulose, shampoos, paste 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 damp clothing.

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 appearance 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.

Silverfish don’t transmit diseases, but the pests may trigger allergies in some people and further damage possessions. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to 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, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers aren’t an exception as well due to the glue. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents is considered food for these pests.

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

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

Spotting an Infestation

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

As aforementioned, silverfish enjoys moist, dark and cold locations. So, it’s better to inspect the bathroom, kitchen closets, underneath the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new infrastructures, enormous numbers might be discovered in which masonry remains damp.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. Actually, the male and female carryout an interesting ritual that involves 3 phases and may last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay about 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Eventually, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to become adults following three months to three years.

Though they’re accounted for household damages, silverfish holds no holds any record in transmitting diseases. On The alternative hand, they are food for different insects such as earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders.
