What are Silverfish?

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

They are not just crawlers but can dart off high as well without our naked eyes detecting. Aside from boxes and bookshelves, they’re also found in basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. Moreover, silverfish are especially attracted to paper and damp clothing.

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

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes whatever that includes polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which can be found 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 too due to the fact that these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything which has polysaccharide contents are considered foods for those pests.

Silverfish are cosmopolitan species, meaning to say, they are common and are found in Africa, the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia and other parts of the Pacific. They live in moist areas that need a relative humidity between 75% and 95%. In urban areas, they can be found in basements and attics.

They nestle in dark and sheltered areas in the household. Otherwise, they’re likely undisturbed in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places. They may not inflict any harm but they are considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any possessions.

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 should they see openings and yellowish stains on their attire or cupboards, they know that silverfish is the offender.

As above, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold locations. So, it is better to inspect the bathroomkitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are fresh buildings, large numbers could be found where masonry remains damp.

Silverfish eggs generally take within 14 Days to two months to incubate. Indeed, the female and male carry out a fascinating custom that includes 3 phases and may last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and kept in tiny crevices. At the end, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will deal on its way to move toward becoming adults following after three months to three decades.

Regardless of the fact that they are in charge of household damages, silverfish holds no record to transmit illnesses. Then again, they are sustenance for different insects like earwigs, home centipedes, and insects.
