What are Silverfish?

Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or even opened an old wooden box just to scream when these white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we are 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 appearance and appear to be whitish-gray in colour. They’re 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.

Their existence 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 anywhere. 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 some people and further damage properties. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish absorbs anything that includes polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are available in book bindings. Apart from that, they feed on carpet, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, images, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well because of the fact that these creatures feed on it due to the paste. Overall, anything which has polysaccharide contents are considered foods for those pests.

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

As above, they may not inflict any harm, but they are regarded as a nuisance and may be unfavourable to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

These creepy crawlers are proven to be nocturnal and they move around quickly. Since they feed on starches and paste, most people will be aware of their presence when they see holes and yellowish stains on their clothes or wardrobes. They understand that silverfish is present.

As previously mentioned, silverfish adores moist, cold and dark locations. Thus, it is more economical to check the washroom, kitchen cabinets, under the sink, storage rooms and basements. Typically, when there are new institutions, vast numbers might be found in which masonry is as moist?

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. In fact, the female and male carry out an exciting ritual which involves three phases and might last over 30 minutes. The female silverfish lay approximately 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Eventually, while the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to be adults following three months to three decades.

Though they are accounted for family damages, silverfish holds no holds any document in transmitting diseases. On The alternative hand, they are food for different insects such as earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders.
