What are Silverfish?

Have you pulled a reserve off the rack or even opened an old wooden box and shout when these white unpleasant creatures dart off? We’re referring to silverfish.

They are not just crawlers but can dart off high as well without our naked eyes noticing. Aside from boxes and bookshelves, they’re also located 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 presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of their strange appearance.

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 carpeting, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, pictures, 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 foods 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 inhabit moist areas with relative humidity between 75 percent and 95%.

They nestle in dark and sheltered areas in the household. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed 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 proven to be nocturnal and they move around so quickly. Since they feed on starches and paste, most men and women become aware that if they see holes and yellowish stains on their clothes or wardrobes, they understand that silverfish is the offender .

As aforementioned, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold locations. They are found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large amounts could be found in which masonry is still damp. 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 2 months to hatch. Actually, the adult female and male carryout an interesting mating ritual which involves 3 phases and lasts over half an hour. The female silverfish is effective at putting out 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will thrive to develop into adults between 3 weeks to 3 decades.

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