What are Silverfish?

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

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

Their existence is sometimes undetected and homeowners frequently transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. Once inside, they find a safe dark and damp place where they can nestle and strain, and over time spread everywhere. These pests will enter houses through base cracks, torn screens, or gaps around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish inside. They are not known to spread illnesses but they are capable of triggering allergic reactions in some people and further damage properties. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish consumes anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Both adults and larvae love to 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 paste. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents is regarded as food 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.

As previously mentioned, they may not cause large damage, however, they are viewed as a hassle and can deem damage to any products.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are parasitic insects and they move around so fast. Their main diet involves starch-rich matter and those that contain paste. Most people can easily identify their presence since they leave stains on clothes and wardrobes.

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

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In fact, the male and female carry out an exciting ritual which involves three phases and might last over 30 minutes. The feminine silverfish lay approximately 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. Eventually, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to be adults following three months to three years.

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.

Controlling Silverfish Brooding

Cleaning the house does not necessarily guarantee to lessen the number of silverfish. Therefore, most homeowners seek advice to professional pest management services to implement a customised treatment focused on silverfish eradication.

Here are some reasons why using a professional silverfish treatment is a good initiative:

Silverfish Control Elvina Bay NSW 2105

I had Benjamin from Local Pest Control come to our place on Monday because I was worried we had a spider problem. He identified a major funnel web spider situation. Benjamin was so thorough and considerate because I was very scared having three small children. He went above and beyond to make sure he spent as much time as needed to treat every single spider hole in our yard. He has arranged to come back in 2 weeks time just to make sure we are all safe for the Christmas period. So grateful for all his help. Highly recommend!

John Chidiac
Real Estate Property Manager. Prior to the introduction I had used other Companys who did not offer the same professional service I attained from Local Pest Control. No job was too small or too big and they were always contactable and were able to attend to the job quickly. The quality of their service and the work performed is second to none. I have used the Company for my own family needs as well and I will never again use another Company for my Pest Control needs.
