What are Silverfish?

Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or may be opened an old wooden container simply to get surprised while those white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we are talking about silverfish.

Silverfish has been on earth millions of years ago before dinosaurs. Meaning, bugs like them have lived 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 are considered pests in homes and businesses.

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 strain, and over time spread anywhere. These pests will enter homes through base cracks, torn screens, or gaps around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors. They are not known to spread illnesses but they are capable of triggering allergic reactions in some people and further damage properties. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes whatever that includes polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are available in book bindings. Apart from that, they feed on carpet, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, images, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well because of the fact that these creatures feed on it due to the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered meals for those pests.

Silverfish are cosmopolitan species, meaning to say, they are common and are found in Africa, the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia and other parts of the Pacific. They live in moist areas that need a relative humidity between 75% and 95%. In urban areas, they can be located in basements and attics.

As previously mentioned, they may not cause large damage, however, they are viewed as a hassle and can deem damage to any products.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are nocturnal pests and they move around so fast. Their main diet entails starch-rich matter and those that contain paste. Most people can easily identify their existence since they leave stains on clothes and wardrobes.

As above, silverfish loves moist, dark and cold areas. They are found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cabinets, 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 usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. Actually, the male and female carryout an interesting ritual which involves 3 phases and might last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay about 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. Finally, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to become adults after three months to three years.

Though they are responsible for household damages, silverfish holds no record in transmitting diseases. On the other hand, they’re food for other insects such as earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders.
