Have you pulled a book off the rack or even opened an old wooden box and shout when these white unpleasant creatures dart off? We are referring to silverfish.
Silverfish have been on the earth hundreds of thousands of years previously before dinosaurs. Meaning, insects like them have lived for 400 million years! They are small wingless bugs, with the fish-like look and are whitish-grey in colour. They are harmless and there’d been no acknowledged proof that they cause diseases or introduce toxin, however, they may be considered pests in homes and businesses.
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 generally found in attics, basements, bathtubs, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.
Silverfish consumes anything that contains polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Apart from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because these creatures feed on it because of the glue. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered food for those pests.
Silverfish are cosmopolitan species, meaning to say, they are common and are found in Africa, the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia and other parts of the Pacific. They live in moist areas that need a relative humidity between 75% and 95%. In urban areas, they can be found in basements and attics.
These national creepy crawlers are often found lurking in dark and sheltered areas in the household. 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 can be destructive to any belongings.
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 clothes and wardrobes.
As previously mentioned, silverfish adores moist, cold and dark locations. Thus, it is smarter to assess the washroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, storage rooms and rooms. Typically, when there are new establishments, vast numbers might be found in which masonry is as yet moist?
Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. Actually, the adult female and male carryout an interesting mating ritual that involves 3 phases and lasts over half an hour. The feminine silverfish is effective at putting out 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will thrive to grow into adults between 3 months to 3 decades.
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 like earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders.
Though you may somehow diminish their brooding when you clean the household, it can’t ensure that silverfish Infestation will be totally terminated. It will still be a wise decision if proficient annoyance control administrations will be taken for silverfish treatment.
