What are Silverfish?

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

Silverfish have been on the ground hundreds of thousands of years in the past 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 benign and there had been no acknowledged proof that they cause diseases or introduce toxin, however, they may be considered pests in homes and businesses.

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

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish absorbs anything that includes polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which can be found in book bindings. Apart from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, images, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too due to 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. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in publication racks, organizers, storage rooms and segregated spots.

As previously mentioned, they may not cause large damage, however, they are viewed as an annoyance and can deem damage to any items.

Spotting an Infestation

These creepy crawlers are known to be nocturnal and they move around fast. Since they feed on starches and paste, most people will be aware of their existence when they see holes and yellowish stains on their clothing or wardrobes. They understand that silverfish is present.

As above, silverfish likes moist, dark and cold areas. So, it’s better to inspect the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, underneath the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new infrastructures, massive numbers might be discovered in which masonry remains damp.

Silverfish eggs generally take within 14 Days to 2 months to incubate. Indeed, the male and female carry out a fascinating habit that includes 3 stages and might last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and stored in small crevices. At the end, once the eggs hatch, the nymphs will cope on its way to move toward becoming adults after after three months to three years.

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