What are Silverfish?

Silverfish are pest that are commonly found in dwelling in boxes or drawers in sheds and garages. Silverfish are known for their destructive feeding habits, oftentimes ruining newspapers, clothing and background. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, especially sugars and starches.

They are mostly found in basements, attics, kitchens and baths. Furthermore, silverfish are especially attracted to paper and moist clothing.

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 appearance 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’re considered pests in homes and businesses.

Silverfish don’t transmit diseases, but the pests may trigger allergies in some people and additional damage possessions. Their existence occasionally attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of their strange appearance.

Silverfish absorbs anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Apart from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too as these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered food for those pests.

Silverfish can live for a year or more without eating.

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