What are Silverfish?

Have you ever wondered that when you open a book you found a tiny and white monster nestled in between the pages? That’s a silverfish. Commonly found in old boxes, drawers and bookshelves, these animals are known to be harmful pests. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, particularly sugars and starches. They have voracious feeding habits, oftentimes ruining papers, clothing and wallpaper.

Silverfish have been on the earth hundreds of thousands of years in the past before dinosaurs. Meaning, insects like them have lived for 400 million years! They are small wingless bugs, with the fish-like look and are whitish-grey in colour. They are benign and there’d been no recognised proof that they cause diseases or introduce poison, however, they may be considered pests in houses and businesses.

Silverfish don’t transmit diseases, but the pests can trigger allergies 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 absorbs anything that includes polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are available in book bindings. Aside from that, they feed on carpet, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, images, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because of the fact that these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered foods for those pests.

Silverfish are common insect 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 household. If not, they are likely hiding between the nooks of the bookshelves, cabinets, cabinets 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

These creepy crawlers are proven to be nocturnal and they move around quickly. Since they feed on starches and paste, most individuals will be conscious of their existence when they see holes and yellow stains on their clothing or wardrobes. They understand that silverfish is present.

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

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to 2 months to hatch. Actually, the female and male carryout an interesting ritual which involves 3 phases and might last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. Eventually, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will operate on its way to become adults after three months to three decades.

Regardless 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 pests like earwigs, house centipedes, and insects.
