What are Silverfish?

Commonly found in old boxes, drawers and bookshelves, these animals are known to be destructive pests. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, particularly sugars and starches. They have voracious feeding habits, oftentimes ruining papers, clothing and wallpaper.

They are little, wingless insects, together with the fish-like appearance and give off a feeling of being whitish-grey in color. They are harmless and there’s been no known evidence that they cause disorders or inflict poison, however, they are seen as a pest in homes and organisations.

These creepy crawlers are cosmopolitan species found in America, Australia, Africa, Eurasia and other sections of the Pacific. They love to nestle moist areas where temperature is favourable, relatively humid between 75% and 95%. In urban areas specifically families, they are generally found in attics, bathrooms, bathrooms, sinks, kitchens, older books, and showers.

Silverfish consumes anything that contains polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Aside from that, they feed on carpet, 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’s polysaccharide contents are considered food for these pests.

Silverfish are parasitic insects and they move around so fast. Their main diet involves starch-rich matter and those that contain paste. Most people can easily identify their presence since they leave stains on clothing and wardrobes.

As aforementioned, silverfish loves damp, dark and cold locations. They’re found hiding in the nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large amounts may 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 2 months to hatch. Actually, the adult female and male carryout an interesting mating ritual that involves 3 phases and lasts over half an hour. The feminine silverfish is capable of laying out 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will thrive to develop into adults between 3 months to 3 decades.
