What are Silverfish?

Have you pulled a book off the rack or even opened an old wooden box and shout when these white unpleasant creatures dart off? We are 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 ground for 400 million years! They are little, wingless insects, with the fish-like appearance 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, then they are seen as a pest in homes as well as organisations.

Silverfish do not transmit diseases, but the pests may trigger allergies in some people and further damage possessions. Their existence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

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

These national creepy crawlers are often located in dark and sheltered areas in the household. If not, they are likely undisturbed in book shelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places.

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

Spotting an Infestation

These creepy crawlers are proven to be nocturnal and they move around so quickly. Since they feed on starches and paste, most men and women become aware that if they see holes and yellowish stains on their clothing or wardrobes, they understand that silverfish is the culprit.

As aforementioned, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold areas. They are found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large amounts may be found in which masonry is still damp. During a famine, a silverfish may even attack leatherware and synthetic fabrics. Silverfish can live for a year or more without eating.

Silverfish eggs generally take within 14 Days to 2 months to incubate. Indeed, the female and male carry out a fascinating habit that includes 3 phases and might last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay about 60 eggs and stored in tiny crevices. At the end, once the eggs hatch, the nymphs will deal on its way to move toward becoming adults following after three months to three years.

On the other hand, they are food for other insects like earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders
