What are Silverfish?

Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or could be opened an old wooden container simply to get surprised while these white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we’re talking about silverfish.

They are not just crawlers but can dart off high as well with our naked eyes detecting. Apart from boxes and bookshelves, they are also located in basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. Moreover, silverfish are especially drawn to paper and moist clothing.

Their existence is sometimes undetected and homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. Once inside, they find a safe dark and damp place where they can nestle and strain, and over time spread anywhere. These pests will enter houses through foundation cracks, torn screens, or openings around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish inside. They are not known to spread illnesses but they are capable of triggering allergic reactions in certain people and further damage possessions. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish absorbs anything that includes polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which can be found in book bindings. Apart from that, they feed on carpet, clothing, coffee, 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 neighbourhood dreadful creatures regularly nestled in dim and safe places in the household. If not, they are likely undisturbed in book racks, organizers, storage rooms and segregated spots.

As aforementioned, they may not inflict any harm, but they are regarded as a nuisance and can be unfavourable to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are nocturnal pests and they move around so fast. Their main diet entails 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 moist, dark and cold areas. They’re found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, whenever there are new buildings, large amounts may be found in which masonry is still damp. During a famine, a silverfish may even attack leatherware and synthetic fabrics. Silverfish can live for a year or more without eating.

Silverfish eggs generally take within 14 Days to 2 months to incubate. Indeed, the female and male carry out a fascinating habit that includes 3 stages and might last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and kept in tiny crevices. At the end, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will cope on its way to move toward becoming adults following after three months to three decades.

Though they are responsible for household damages, silverfish holds no record to be transmitting diseases. On the other hand, they’re food for other insects such as earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders.
