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 is a silverfish. Commonly found in old boxes, drawers and bookshelves, these creatures 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 thousands and 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 had been no acknowledged proof that they cause diseases or introduce toxin, however, they are considered pests in homes and businesses.

Their presence is sometimes undetected and homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. Once inside, they find a secure dark and damp place where they can nestle and breed, and over time spread everywhere. These pests will enter homes through foundation 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 certain 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 contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Both adults and larvae like to feed on carpeting, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because these creatures feed on it due to the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents is regarded as food for these pests.

These house insects are often found in dark and sheltered regions in the household. If not, they are likely undisturbed in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded locations.

As aforementioned, they may not impose any harm, however they’re considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

These creepy crawlers are known to be nocturnal and they move around fast. Since they feed on starches and paste, most people will be conscious of their presence when they see holes and yellowish stains on their clothing or wardrobes. They understand that silverfish is present.

They are located hiding in dark and damp nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers may be found where masonry is still moist. 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 female and male carryout an interesting ritual which involves 3 phases and may last over half an hour. 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.

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