They are small wingless insects, with fish-like look and appear to be whitish-gray in color. They are harmless and there have been no known evidence that they cause diseases or inject poison but then they’re considered pests in homes and businesses.

These disagreeable crawlers are globally recognized and are found in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different parts of the Pacific. They settle in damp areas where 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, bathrooms, bathrooms, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish devours whatever contains polysaccharides, as an instance, starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are used in publication ties. Besides that, they feed on a floor covering, apparel, espresso, dandruff, stick, hair, a few paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception in addition to these pests feed on it because of the paste. By and large, anything that has polysaccharide substance is viewed as sustenance for these 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. 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

These creepy crawlers are known to be nocturnal and they move around so quickly. Since they feed on starches and paste, most men and women become aware that should they see holes and yellowish stains on their clothing or wardrobes, they understand that silverfish is the culprit.

As above, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold areas. So, it is better to inspect the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers could be found in which masonry is still damp.

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

On the other hand, they are food for other insects such as earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders
