What are Silverfish?

Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or even opened an old wooden box only to shout when these white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we are talking about silverfish.

Silverfish have been on the earth hundreds of 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’d been no recognised proof that they cause diseases or introduce poison, however, they may be considered pests in homes and businesses.

Silverfish do not transmit diseases, but the pests may trigger allergies in some people and further damage possessions. Their existence occasionally attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish absorbs anything that includes polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are available in book bindings. Aside from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, pictures, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too due to the fact that these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered meals for those pests.

Silverfish are common insect species and are abundant in Africa, the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia and other parts of the Pacific. They occupy moist areas with relative humidity between 75 percent and 95%.

As previously mentioned, they may not cause massive damage, however, they are seen as a hassle and can deem damage to any products.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are proven to be nocturnal and they move around so fast. Since they feed on starches and paste, most people become mindful that if they see openings and yellowish stains on their attire or cupboards, they understand that silverfish is the offender.

They are found hiding in dark and moist nooks of the toilet, 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 adult male and female carryout an interesting mating ritual which involves 3 stages and lasts over 30 minutes. The feminine silverfish is effective at putting out 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will thrive to grow into adults between 3 weeks to 3 decades.

Though they are responsible for household damages, silverfish holds no record in transmitting diseases. On the other hand, they are food for other insects such as earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders.
