What are Silverfish?

Have you pulled a book 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.

Homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. When brought inside the home, cardboard boxes and plastic containers recently stored in infested areas can allow the pests to spread. The pests will enter houses through foundation cracks, torn screens, or gaps around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors.

Silverfish don’t transmit diseases, but the pests may trigger allergies in some people and further damage possessions. Their presence occasionally attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish absorbs anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Both adults and larvae like to feed on carpeting, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents is regarded as food for these insects.

Silverfish are cosmopolitan species, meaning to say, they are common and are found in Africa, the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia and other parts of the Pacific. They live in moist areas that need a relative humidity between 75% and 95%. In urban areas, they can be found in basements and attics.

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

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are nocturnal pests and they move around so quickly. Their main diet entails starch-rich matter and those that contain paste. Most people can easily identify their presence since they leave stains on clothing and wardrobes.

As previously mentioned, silverfish adores moist, cold and dark areas. Thus, it is smarter to assess the washroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, storage rooms and basements. Typically, when there are new establishments, vast numbers might be found in which masonry is as moist?

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to 2 months to hatch. In fact, the adult female and male carryout an interesting mating ritual which involves 3 stages and lasts over 30 minutes. The feminine 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 months to 3 years.

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