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 is a silverfish. Commonly found in old boxes, drawers and bookshelves, these animals 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.

Silverfish have been on the earth 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 appearance and are whitish-grey in colour. They are harmless and there’d been no acknowledged proof that they cause diseases or introduce toxin, however, they may be considered pests in houses and businesses.

These unpleasant 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 families, they are usually found in storage rooms, basements, baths, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish absorbs anything that includes polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which can be found in book bindings. Apart from that, they feed on carpet, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, images, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because of the fact that these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered meals for those pests.

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

They nestle in dark and sheltered areas in the household. Otherwise, they are probably undiscovered in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and gated areas. They may not inflict any harm but they are considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any possessions.

Spotting an Infestation

These creepy crawlers are proven 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 clothes or wardrobes. They understand that silverfish is present.

As above, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold areas. So, it is better to inspect the bathroom, kitchen closets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are fresh buildings, large numbers could be found where masonry remains damp.

It takes two weeks to two months for silverfish eggs to hatch. In fact, 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 decades.

On the other hand, they’re food for other insects such as earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders
