What are Silverfish?

Silverfish are pest that are generally found in dwelling in boxes or drawers in sheds and garages. Silverfish are known for their destructive feeding habits, oftentimes ruining papers, clothing and background. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, especially sugars and starches. Cellulose, shampoos, paste in books, linen, silk and dead insects may be food sources. These white creepy creatures can dart off easily. They are mostly found in basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. Furthermore, silverfish are especially attracted to paper and damp clothing.

Silverfish have been existing for a number of years, coexisting with historical animals. Which means, bugs like them have been walking around the earth for 400 million years! They are little, wingless insects, with the fish-like look 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 viewed as a pest in homes as well as organisations.

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

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish feed on anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. They are also known to feed on carpeting, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers aren’t an exception as well due to the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents is considered food for these insects.

These national creepy crawlers are often located in darkened and dark areas in the home. If not, they are likely undisturbed in book shelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places.

As aforementioned, they may not impose any harm, however they are considered a nuisance and can be harmful to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are proven to be nocturnal and they move around so quickly. Since they feed on starches and glue, most people become mindful that if they see openings and yellowish stains in their attire or cupboards, they know that silverfish is the culprit.

As aforementioned, silverfish enjoys moist, dark and cold locations. So, it’s better to inspect the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, underneath the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new infrastructures, massive numbers may be found in which masonry remains damp.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. Actually, the male and female carryout an interesting ritual which involves 3 phases and may last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay about 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. Finally, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will operate on its way to become adults after three months to three years.

Regardless of the fact that they are in charge of family damages, silverfish holds no record to transmit illnesses. Then again, they are sustenance for different pests like earwigs, home centipedes, and insects.

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!

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.
