What are Silverfish?

Have you ever wondered that when you open a book you found a tiny and white creature nestled in between the pages? That is a silverfish. Commonly found in old boxes, drawers and bookshelves, these animals are known to be destructive pests. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, especially sugars and starches. They have voracious feeding habits, oftentimes ruining papers, clothes and wallpaper.

Silverfish have been existing for a number of years, coexisting with historical animals. Which means, bugs like them have been walking round the ground for 400 million years! They are little, wingless insects, with the fish-like look and give off a feeling of being whitish-grey in color. They are benign and there’s been no known proof that they cause disorders or inflict poison, however, then 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 strain, and over time spread everywhere. These pests will enter houses through foundation 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 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 consumes 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 as well because these creatures feed on it because of the paste. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents are considered food for those pests.

These national creepy crawlers are often located in dark and sheltered areas in the home. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in book shelves, cabinets, cabinets and secluded places.

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

Spotting an Infestation

Silverfish are classified as nocturnal pests and they move around so fast. Since they voraciously consume on starch-rich items and glue, most people can easily identify their presence because they leave stains on clothes and wardrobes.

As above, silverfish likes moist, dark and cold areas. So, it is better to inspect the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, underneath the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new infrastructures, enormous numbers might be found in which masonry remains damp.

Silverfish eggs generally take within 14 Days to two months to incubate. Indeed, the female and male carry out a fascinating custom that includes 3 phases and might last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay about 60 eggs and kept in small crevices. At the end, once the eggs hatch, the nymphs will cope on its way to move toward becoming adults after 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’re food for other insects like earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders.
