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’re referring to silverfish.

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

These insects are cosmopolitan species And are observed in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different parts of the Pacific. They prefer to nest in moist areas where temperature is beneficial, exceptionally humid among 75% and 95%. In urban areas particularly households, they are usually observed in attics, basements, bathtubs, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

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

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

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

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are known to be nocturnal and they move around so fast. Since they feed on starches and glue, most people become mindful that should they see openings and yellowish stains in their attire or cupboards, they understand that silverfish is the offender.

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 moist. 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 2 months to hatch. In fact, the male and female carryout an interesting ritual which involves 3 phases and may last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay about 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. Finally, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to become adults after three months to three decades.

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

Though you may somehow reduce their brooding when you wash the household, it cannot guarantee that silverfish infestation will be entirely eradicated. It will still be a wise decision if specialist pest management services will be taken for silverfish therapy.
