What are Silverfish?

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

Silverfish have been present for a number of years, coexisting with historical animals. Which means, bugs like them have been walking around the ground for 400 million years! They are little, wingless insects, with the fish-like look and give off an impression of being whitish-grey in color. They are benign and there’s been no known evidence that they cause illnesses or inflict poison, however, they are viewed as a pest in homes and organisations.

Their presence is sometimes undetected and homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. Once inside, they find a secure dark and damp place where they can nestle and breed, and over time spread everywhere. These pests will enter houses through base cracks, torn screens, or openings 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 certain people and further damage possessions. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

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

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In fact, the male and female carryout an interesting ritual that involves 3 phases and may last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. Eventually, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to become adults after three months to three decades.
