They are small wingless insects, with fish-like appearance and appear to be whitish-gray in color. They are harmless 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 unpleasant crawlers are globally recognized and are found in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different parts of the Pacific. They settle in damp areas where the temperature is suitable for them, generally humid and about 75% and 95% in temperature. In Urban areas particularly families, they are generally found in storage rooms, basements, baths, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish absorbs anything that contains polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Apart from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar.

They live in moist areas that require a relative humidity between 75% and 95%. In urban areas, they can be found in basements and attics.

As above, they may not inflict any injury, but they are considered a nuisance and may be unfavourable to any belongings.

It takes two weeks to two months for silverfish eggs to hatch. Actually, the adult male and female carryout an interesting mating ritual which involves 3 phases that last over half an hour. The feminine silverfish is effective at putting out 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will thrive to develop into adults between 3 months to 3 years.
