What are Silverfish?

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

Silverfish have been present for a number of years, coexisting with historical animals. Which means, bugs like them have been walking round the ground for 400 million years! They are little, wingless insects, with the fish-like appearance and give off an impression of becoming whitish-grey in color. They are harmless and there’s been no known proof that they cause disorders or inflict poison, however, they are seen as a pest in homes as well as organisations.

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

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish absorbs anything that contains polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Both adults and larvae like to feed on carpet, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents is considered food for these pests.

These local dreadful creatures regularly nestled in dim and secure places in the household. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in publication racks, organizers, storage rooms and segregated spots.

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

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are known 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 in 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 bathroom, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers may be found in which masonry remains damp.

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

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.
