What are Silverfish?

Have you pulled a reserve 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 have been existing for a number of years, coexisting with historical 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 harmless and there has been no known proof that they cause illnesses or inflict poison, however, then they are viewed as a pest in homes and organisations.

Silverfish don’t transmit diseases, but the pests may trigger allergies in some people and additional damage possessions. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Aside from that, they feed on carpet, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well because these creatures feed on it because of the glue. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents are considered food for those pests.

These domestic creepy crawlers are often located in darkened and dark areas in the household. If not, they are likely undisturbed in book shelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places.

These domestic creepy crawlers are often found lurking in dark and sheltered areas in the home. If not, they are likely hiding in between the nooks of the bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places. They may not impose any injury, and nothing has ever been recorded, however, they are considered 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 aware of their presence when they see holes and yellow stains on their clothes or wardrobes. They understand that silverfish is present.

As aforementioned, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold areas. They are found hiding in the nooks of 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. 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 2 months for silverfish eggs to hatch. In fact, the adult male and female carryout an interesting mating ritual that involves 3 stages 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 thrive to develop into adults between 3 weeks to 3 decades.

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