What are Silverfish?

Silverfish are pest that are generally found in dwelling in drawers or boxes in garages and sheds. Silverfish are known for their destructive feeding habits, oftentimes ruining papers, clothing and background. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, particularly sugars and starches.

They settle in damp areas in which the temperature is appropriate 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 absorbs anything that includes polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which can be found in book bindings. Aside from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, images, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too due to the fact that these creatures feed on it due to the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered foods for those pests.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In fact, the male and female carryout an interesting ritual that involves 3 phases and might last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Finally, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will operate on its way to become adults after three months to three years.
