What are Silverfish?

Have you pulled a book off the rack or even opened an old wooden box and just scream when these white unpleasant creatures dart off? We’re referring to silverfish.

Silverfish have been existing for a number of years, coexisting with ancient animals. Which means, bugs like them have been walking round the ground for 400 million years! They are little, wingless insects, with the fish-like look and give off an impression of becoming whitish-grey in color. They are harmless and there’s been no known proof that they cause illnesses or inflict poison, however, then they are seen as a pest in homes and organisations.

These disagreeable crawlers are globally recognized and are located in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different portions of the Pacific. They settle in moist areas in which the temperature is suitable for them, generally humid and about 75% and 95 percent in temperature. In Urban areas particularly households, they are generally found in storage rooms, bathrooms, bathrooms, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Aside from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, java, 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’s polysaccharide contents are considered food for these 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%.

As above, they may not inflict any harm, but they are regarded as a nuisance and may be unfavourable to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

These creepy crawlers are proven to be nocturnal and they move around so fast. Since they feed on starches and paste, most people become aware that should they see holes and yellow stains on their clothing or wardrobes, they know that silverfish is the offender .

As aforementioned, silverfish loves moist, dark and cold locations. So, it is better to inspect the bathroomkitchen closets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers may be found where masonry is still damp.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to 2 months to hatch. In fact, the adult female and male carryout an interesting mating ritual which involves 3 phases and lasts over half an hour. The female silverfish is effective at putting out 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will flourish to grow into adults between 3 months to 3 decades.

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