What are Silverfish?

Silverfish are pest that are generally found in dwelling in drawers or boxes in garages and sheds. Silverfish are known for their destructive feeding habits, oftentimes ruining newspapers, clothing and background. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, especially sugars and starches. Cellulose, shampoos, paste in books, linen, silk and dead insects might be food sources. These white creepy creatures can dart off easily. They are mostly found in basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. Furthermore, silverfish are especially attracted to paper and moist clothing.

Silverfish have been existing for a number of years, coexisting with ancient animals. Which means, bugs like them have been walking round the ground for 400 million years! They are little, wingless insects, with the fish-like appearance and give off an impression of becoming whitish-grey in color. They are harmless and there’s been no known evidence that they cause disorders or inflict poison, however, they are viewed as a pest in homes as well as organisations.

These creepy crawlers are cosmopolitan species found in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and other parts 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 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, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers aren’t an exception as well because of the glue. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents is considered food for these pests.

These local dreadful creatures regularly nestled in dim and secure areas in the household. If not, they are likely undisturbed in book racks, organizers, storage rooms and segregated spots.

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

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are parasitic insects and they move around so quickly. Their main diet entails starch-rich matter and those that contain paste. Most people can easily identify their presence 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 usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In reality, the female and male carry out an exciting ritual which involves three phases and may last over 30 minutes. The feminine silverfish lay approximately 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Eventually, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to be adults after three months to three years.

Though they are accounted for family damages, silverfish holds no holds any record in transmitting diseases. On The alternative hand, they’re food for different insects such as earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders.
