What are Silverfish?

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

Silverfish have been on the ground 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 benign and there’d been no recognised proof that they cause diseases or introduce poison, however, they are considered pests in homes and businesses.

Their existence is sometimes undetected and homeowners frequently transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. Once inside, they find a secure dark and damp place where they can nestle and strain, and over time spread everywhere. These pests will enter houses through base 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 some people and further damage properties. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Aside from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well because these creatures feed on it because of the glue. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents are considered food for these pests.

These house insects are often found in dark and sheltered regions in the household. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded locations.

As above, they may not impose any harm, however they are considered a nuisance and can be harmful to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are classified as nocturnal pests and they move around so quickly. Since they voraciously consume on starch-rich items and glue, most people can easily identify their existence because they leave stains on clothes and wardrobes.

They are located hiding in dark and moist nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers may be found where masonry is still damp. During a famine, a silverfish may even attack leatherware and synthetic materials. Silverfish can live for a year or more without eating.

It takes two weeks to two months for silverfish eggs to hatch. Actually, the adult female and male carryout an interesting mating ritual which involves 3 phases that last over half an hour. The female silverfish is effective at putting out 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will thrive to grow into adults between 3 weeks to 3 years.

Though they are responsible for household damages, silverfish holds no record in transmitting diseases. On the other hand, they are food for other insects such as earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders.

Controlling Silverfish Brooding

Cleaning the house and surrounding areas do not completely eradicate silverfish. These pests are quite difficult to eliminate it requires assistance from pest management professionals. This is because no generic insecticides or pesticides can poison the silverfish brooding.

Here are some reasons why having a professional silverfish treatment is a good initiative:

That being said, they can trigger an allergic reaction in some people. Professionals have their own equipment. Silverfish can be difficult to completely control this is especially true in homes which have wooden shingles on the roof. Additionally, a trained professional will be better because they will have the ability to help you identify and treat the areas where silverfish is living.

Real Estate Property Manager. Prior to the introduction I had used other Companys who did not offer the same professional service I attained from Local Pest Control. No job was too small or too big and they were always contactable and were able to attend to the job quickly. The quality of their service and the work performed is second to none. I have used the Company for my own family needs as well and I will never again use another Company for my Pest Control needs.
