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 these white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we’re talking about silverfish.

Silverfish has been on the planet millions of years ago before dinosaurs. Meaning, bugs like them have lived 400 million years! They are small wingless insects, with fish-like look and appear to be whitish-gray in color. They’re harmless and there have been no known evidence that they cause diseases or inject poison but then they are considered pests in homes and businesses.

These insects are cosmopolitan species And are observed in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and different parts of the Pacific. They prefer to nest in moist areas where temperature is beneficial, incredibly humid among 75% and 95%. In urban areas particularly households, they are typically observed in attics, basements, bathtubs, sinks, kitchens, old books, and showers.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Apart from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well because these creatures feed on it because of the glue. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents are considered food for those pests.

These house insects are often found in dark and sheltered regions in the home. If not, they are likely undisturbed in bookshelves, cabinets, cabinets and secluded locations.

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 may be destructive to any possessions.

Spotting an Infestation

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

As previously mentioned, silverfish adores moist, cold and dark areas. Thus, it is smarter to assess the washroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, storage rooms and rooms. Typically, when there are new institutions, vast numbers might be found in which masonry is as moist?

It takes two weeks to two months for silverfish eggs to hatch. Actually, the adult male and female carryout an interesting mating ritual that involves 3 stages that last over 30 minutes. 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 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, home centipedes, and spiders.
