What are Silverfish?

Have you ever wondered that when you open a book you found a tiny and white creature nestled in between the pages? That’s 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, clothes and wallpaper.

They are not just crawlers but can dart off high as well with our naked eyes noticing. Apart from boxes and bookshelves, they are also located in basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. Furthermore, silverfish are especially drawn to paper and moist clothing.

These disagreeable crawlers are globally recognized and are located in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different parts of the Pacific. They settle in damp areas in which the temperature is appropriate for them, generally humid and about 75% and 95% in temperature. In Urban areas particularly households, they are usually found in storage rooms, basements, baths, 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 carpet, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well because these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents are considered food for those pests.

These house insects are often found in dark and sheltered regions in the household. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded locations.

As above, they may not impose any harm, however they are considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are classified as nocturnal pests and they move 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.

As above, silverfish loves moist, dark and cold locations. They are found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, whenever 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 fabrics. Silverfish can live for a year or more without eating.

It takes two weeks to 2 months for silverfish eggs to hatch. In fact, the adult female and male carryout an interesting mating ritual that involves 3 stages that last over half an hour. The feminine silverfish is effective at putting out 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will thrive to develop into adults between 3 months to 3 years.

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 such as earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders.
