What are Silverfish?

Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or even opened an old wooden box only to scream when 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 survived 400 million years! They are small wingless insects, with fish-like look and appear to be whitish-gray in color. They are 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 like to nest in moist areas where temperature is beneficial, exceptionally 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 devours whatever contains polysaccharides, as an example, starches and dextrins in adhesives, which can be used in book ties. Besides that, they feed on a floor covering, apparel, espresso, dandruff, stick, hair, a few paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well as these pests feed on it because of the glue. By and large, anything that has polysaccharide substance is seen as sustenance for these pests.

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

As aforementioned, they may not impose any harm, however they’re considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are categorised as nocturnal pests and they move around so quickly. Since they voraciously consume on starch-rich items and paste, most people can easily identify their presence because they leave stains on clothing and wardrobes.

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

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In reality, the male and female carry out an exciting ritual which involves three phases and might last over half an hour. The feminine silverfish lay approximately 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Eventually, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will operate on its way to be adults after three months to three decades.

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