What are Silverfish?

Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or could be opened an old wooden container only to get surprised while these white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we’re talking about 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 houses through foundation cracks, torn screens, or openings around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors.

These creepy crawlers are cosmopolitan species found in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and other sections of the Pacific. They love to nestle moist areas where temperature is favourable, relatively humid between 75% and 95%. In urban areas specifically families, they are commonly found in attics, bathrooms, bathrooms, sinks, kitchens, older books, and showers.

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, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well because these creatures feed on it because of the glue. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered food for those pests.

These domestic creepy crawlers are often located in darkened and dark areas in the household. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in book shelves, cabinets, cabinets and secluded places.

These national creepy crawlers are often found lurking in dark and sheltered areas in the home. Otherwise, they are likely hiding in between the nooks of the bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places. They may not impose any harm, and nothing has ever been recorded, however, they are regarded as a nuisance and may be harmful to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

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

As aforementioned, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold areas. So, it is better to inspect the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are fresh buildings, large numbers may be found 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. Finally, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to become adults after three months to three years.

Though they are responsible for household damages, silverfish holds no record to be transmitting diseases. On the other hand, they are food for other insects such as earwigs, house 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 entirely eradicated. It will still be a wise decision if specialist pest control services will be taken for silverfish therapy.

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

• Reduces the risk of infestation
• Monitors other related pest problems overtime
• They can determine the extent of infestation
• A routine treatment will keep the pest infestation to a minimum
• They know what type of treatment should be used

That being said, they can trigger an allergic response in some people. Professionals have their own equipment. Silverfish can be tough to completely control this is especially true in homes which have wooden shingles on the roof. Furthermore, a trained professional will be better because they will be able to help you identify and treat the areas where silverfish is residing.
