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 these white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we’re talking about silverfish.

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

These disagreeable 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 consumes anything that contains polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Both adults and larvae like to feed on carpet, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents is regarded as food for these pests.

Silverfish are common pest 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 percent and 95%.

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

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are classified as nocturnal pests and they go around so quickly. Since they voraciously consume on starch-rich items and glue, most people can easily identify their existence since they leave stains on clothing and wardrobes.

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

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In reality, the male and female carry out an exciting ritual which involves three phases and might last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay approximately 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. Finally, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to be adults following three months to three decades.

On the other hand, they’re food for other insects such as earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders

Controlling Silverfish Brooding

Though you may somehow lessen their brooding when you wash the household, it cannot guarantee that silverfish infestation will be entirely eradicated. It will still be a wise decision if professional pest control services will be taken for silverfish treatment.

Here are some reasons why using a professional silverfish treatment is a fantastic initiative:

• Reduces the risk of infestation
• Monitors other related pest problems overtime
• They can determine the magnitude of infestation
• A regular treatment will keep the pest infestation to a minimum
• They know what sort of treatment should be used
