What are Silverfish?

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

Silverfish have been existing for a number of years, coexisting with ancient animals. Which means, bugs like them have been walking around the earth for 400 million years! They are little, wingless insects, with the fish-like appearance and give off a feeling of being whitish-grey in color. They are benign 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 insects are cosmopolitan species And are observed in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different parts of the Pacific. They like to nest in moist areas where temperature is beneficial, exceptionally humid among 75% and 95%. In urban areas particularly households, they are usually observed in attics, basements, bathtubs, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

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 because of the fact that these creatures feed on it due to the paste. Overall, anything which has polysaccharide contents are considered meals for those pests.

Spotting an Infestation

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

Silverfish eggs generally take within 14 Days to two months to incubate. Indeed, the male and female carry out a fascinating custom that includes 3 stages and may last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay about 60 eggs and stored in small crevices. At the end, once the eggs hatch, the nymphs will deal on its way to move toward becoming adults after after three months to three years.
