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, glue 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 moist clothing.

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 benign and there have been no known evidence that they cause diseases or inject poison but then they’re considered pests in homes and businesses.

These insects are cosmopolitan species And are observed in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and unique parts of the Pacific. They prefer 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 consumes anything that contains polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Both adults and larvae like to feed on carpet, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents is regarded as food for these pests.

These neighbourhood dreadful creatures regularly nestled in dim and safe places in the household. If not, they are likely undisturbed in publication racks, organizers, storage rooms and segregated spots.

These domestic creepy crawlers are often found lurking in darkened and dark areas in the household. Otherwise, they are likely hiding between the nooks of the bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places. They may not impose any injury, and nothing has ever been recorded, however, they are regarded as a nuisance and may be destructive to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

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

As aforementioned, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold areas. They’re found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large amounts could be found in which masonry is still damp. During a famine, a silverfish may even attack leatherware and synthetic fabrics. Silverfish can live for a year or more without eating.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In reality, the female and male 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 little crevices. Eventually, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will operate on its way to be adults after three months to three years.

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