What are Silverfish?

Have you ever wondered that when you open a book you found a little and white monster nestled in between the pages? That’s a silverfish. Commonly found in old boxes, drawers and bookshelves, these creatures are known to be harmful pests. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, especially sugars and starches. They have voracious feeding habits, oftentimes ruining papers, clothes and wallpaper.

They are not just crawlers but can dart off high as well without our naked eyes noticing. Apart from boxes and bookshelves, they’re also found in basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. Moreover, silverfish are especially attracted to paper and moist clothing.

These disagreeable crawlers are globally recognized and are located in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different portions of the Pacific. They settle in moist areas in which the temperature is suitable for them, generally humid and about 75% and 95% in temperature. In Urban areas particularly households, they are usually found in storage rooms, bathrooms, bathrooms, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

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

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

As above, they may not impose any harm, however they’re considered a nuisance and can be harmful 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 if they see holes and yellowish stains on their clothing or wardrobes, they know that silverfish is the culprit.

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

Silverfish eggs generally take within 14 Days to two months to incubate. Indeed, the female and male carry out a fascinating custom that includes 3 phases and may last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay about 60 eggs and stored in tiny crevices. At the end, once the eggs hatch, the nymphs will cope on its way to move toward becoming adults following after three months to three years.

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