What are Silverfish?

Have you pulled a book off the rack or even opened an old wooden box and just scream 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 make it possible for the pests to spread. The pests will enter houses through foundation cracks, torn screens, or gaps around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors.

Silverfish do not transmit diseases, but the pests may trigger allergies in some people and further damage possessions. Their existence occasionally attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

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

Silverfish are common insect species and are abundant in Africa, the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia and other parts of the Pacific. They occupy moist areas with relative humidity between 75% and 95%.

As aforementioned, they may not impose any harm, however they’re considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

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

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

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In fact, the male and female carry out an exciting ritual that involves three phases and might last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay approximately 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Finally, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will operate on its way to be adults after three months to three 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, house centipedes, and spiders.

Controlling Silverfish Brooding

Cleaning the house does not necessarily guarantee to lessen the number of silverfish. Therefore, most homeowners seek advice to professional pest control services to implement a customised treatment focused on silverfish eradication.
