What are Silverfish?

Silverfish has been on the planet millions of years ago before dinosaurs. Meaning, bugs like them have survived 400 million years! They are small wingless insects, with fish-like look and appear to be whitish-gray in color. They are benign and there have been no known evidence that they cause diseases or inject poison but then they are considered pests in homes and businesses.

These disagreeable crawlers are globally recognized and are located in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different portions of the Pacific. They settle in damp areas where the temperature is appropriate for them, generally humid and about 75% and 95 percent 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, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which can be found in book bindings. Aside from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, pictures, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well due to the fact that these creatures feed on it due to the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered meals for those pests.

Silverfish are common pest species and are abundant in Africa, the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia and other parts of the Pacific. They inhabit moist areas with relative humidity between 75% and 95%.

These domestic creepy crawlers are often found lurking in dark and sheltered areas in the home. If not, they are likely hiding between the nooks of the bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places. They may not impose any injury, and nothing has ever been recorded, however, they are regarded as a nuisance and may be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

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

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

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In fact, the female and male carry out an exciting ritual which involves three phases and may last over 30 minutes. The feminine silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. Finally, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to be adults following three months to three years.

In spite of the fact that they are in charge of family damages, silverfish holds no record to transmit illnesses. Then again, they are sustenance for different insects like earwigs, house centipedes, and insects.
