What are Silverfish?

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

Silverfish have been on the ground thousands and 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 look and are whitish-grey in colour. They are harmless and there had been no acknowledged proof that they cause diseases or introduce toxin, however, they may be considered pests in houses and businesses.

Silverfish do not transmit diseases, but the pests can trigger allergies in some people and additional damage properties. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of 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. Aside 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 due to the fact that these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered foods for those pests.

These national creepy crawlers are often found in darkened and dark areas in the home. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in book shelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places.

They nestle in dark and sheltered areas in the household. If not, they’re probably undiscovered in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and gated areas. They may not impose any harm but they are considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any possessions.

Spotting an Infestation

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

As above, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold areas. They’re found hiding in the 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 fabrics. Silverfish can live for a year or more without eating.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to 2 months to hatch. Actually, the adult male and female carryout an interesting mating ritual that involves 3 stages and lasts over 30 minutes. The female silverfish is capable of laying out 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will thrive to grow into adults between 3 months to 3 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, house centipedes, and spiders.
