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 are referring to silverfish.

Homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. When brought inside the home, 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.

Silverfish do not transmit diseases, but the pests may trigger allergies in some people and additional damage properties. Their presence occasionally attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish feed on anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. They are also known to feed on carpeting, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well due to the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents is known as food for these pests.

Silverfish are common insect species and are abundant in Africa, the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia and other parts of the Pacific. They occupy moist areas with relative humidity between 75% and 95%.

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

Spotting an Infestation

These creepy crawlers are known to be nocturnal and they move around so fast. Since they feed on starches and paste, most people become aware that should they see holes and yellowish stains on their clothes or wardrobes, they understand that silverfish is the culprit.

As above, silverfish enjoys moist, dark and cold areas. So, it is better to inspect the toilet, kitchen cupboards, underneath the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new infrastructures, enormous numbers might be found in which masonry remains damp.

It takes two weeks to two months for silverfish eggs to hatch. Actually, the adult male and female carryout an interesting mating ritual that involves 3 stages that last 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 develop into adults between 3 weeks to 3 decades.

Regardless of the fact that they are in charge of household damages, silverfish holds no record to transmit illnesses. Then again, they are sustenance for different pests like earwigs, home centipedes, and insects.
