Have you ever wondered that when you open a book you found a tiny and white creature nestled in between the pages? That is a silverfish. Commonly found in old boxes, drawers and bookshelves, these creatures are known to be destructive pests. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, particularly sugars and starches. They have voracious feeding habits, oftentimes ruining papers, clothes and wallpaper.

They are not just crawlers but can dart off high as well without our naked eyes noticing. Apart from boxes and bookshelves, they are also located in basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. Furthermore, silverfish are especially drawn to paper and moist clothing.

These disagreeable crawlers are globally recognized and are located in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different portions of the Pacific. They settle in damp areas in which the temperature is suitable for them, generally humid and about 75% and 95 percent in temperature. In Urban areas particularly families, they are generally found in storage rooms, basements, baths, sinks, kitchens, old 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. Apart from that, they feed on carpet, clothing, coffee, 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 house insects are often found in dark and sheltered regions in the household. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded locations.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are known to be nocturnal and they move around so quickly. Since they feed on starches and paste, most people become mindful that should they see openings and yellowish stains in their attire or cupboards, they know that silverfish is the culprit.

As aforementioned, silverfish likes moist, dark and cold locations. So, it is better to inspect the toilet, kitchen closets, underneath the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new infrastructures, massive numbers may be found in which masonry remains damp.

It takes two weeks to two months for silverfish eggs to hatch. In fact, the adult male and female carryout an interesting mating ritual which involves 3 stages that last over half an hour. 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 months to 3 decades.

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