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’re referring to silverfish.

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 look and appear to be whitish-gray in color. They’re harmless and there have been no known evidence that they cause diseases or inject poison but then they’re considered pests in homes and businesses.

These insects are cosmopolitan species And are observed in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different parts of the Pacific. They prefer to nest in moist areas where temperature is beneficial, exceptionally humid among 75% and 95%. In urban areas particularly households, they are typically observed in attics, basements, bathtubs, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes whatever that includes polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which can be found in book bindings. Apart from that, they feed on carpet, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, images, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well because of the fact that these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything which has polysaccharide contents are considered meals for those pests.

These house bugs are often found in dark and sheltered regions in the household. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in bookshelves, cabinets, cabinets and secluded locations.

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

Spotting an Infestation

These creepy crawlers are known to be nocturnal and they move around fast. Since they feed on starches and paste, most people will be conscious of their existence when they see holes and yellowish stains on their clothes or wardrobes. They understand that silverfish is present.

They are located hiding in dark and moist nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers may be found in which masonry is still moist. During a famine, a silverfish may even attack leatherware and synthetic fabrics. Silverfish can live for a year or more without eating.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In reality, the male and female carry out an exciting ritual that involves three phases and may last over half an hour. The feminine silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Finally, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to be adults after three months to three years.

On the other hand, they’re food for other insects such as earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders
