What are Silverfish?

Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or even opened an old wooden box just to shout when these white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we’re talking about silverfish.

Silverfish have been present for a number of years, coexisting with ancient animals. Which means, bugs like them have been walking around the ground for 400 million years! They are little, wingless insects, with the fish-like look and give off a feeling of becoming whitish-grey in color. They are benign and there has been no known proof that they cause disorders or inflict poison, however, they are viewed as a pest in homes and organisations.

Their existence is sometimes undetected and homeowners frequently transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. Once inside, they find a safe dark and damp place where they can nestle and breed, and over time spread anywhere. These pests will enter homes through base cracks, torn screens, or openings around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish inside. They are not known to spread illnesses but they are capable of triggering allergic reactions in some people and further damage possessions. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of their strange appearance.

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, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too as these creatures feed on it because of the glue. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents are considered food for those pests.

These national creepy crawlers are often located in darkened and dark areas in the home. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in book shelves, cabinets, cabinets and secluded places.

As above, they may not inflict any injury, but they are considered a nuisance and can 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 if they see openings and yellowish stains in their attire or cupboards, they understand that silverfish is the culprit.

As previously mentioned, silverfish adores moist, cold and dark areas. Thus, it is smarter to check 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?

It takes two weeks to two months for silverfish eggs to hatch. In fact, the adult female and male carryout an interesting mating ritual that involves 3 stages that last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish is capable of laying out 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will flourish to develop into adults between 3 months to 3 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 such as earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders.
