What are Silverfish?

Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or could be opened an old wooden container only to get amased while these white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we’re talking about silverfish.

Silverfish has been on earth 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 benign and there have been no known evidence that they cause diseases or inject poison but then they are considered pests in homes and businesses.

Silverfish do not transmit diseases, but the pests can trigger allergies in some people and further damage possessions. Their presence occasionally attracts carpet beetles and causes unease because of their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

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

These house insects are often found in dark and sheltered regions in the home. If not, they are likely undisturbed in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded locations.

These domestic creepy crawlers are often found lurking in dark and sheltered areas in the home. Otherwise, they are likely hiding between the nooks of the bookshelves, cabinets, cabinets and secluded places. They may not impose any injury, and nothing has ever been recorded, however, they are considered a nuisance and may be destructive 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 conscious of their presence when they see holes and yellow stains on their clothes or wardrobes. They understand that silverfish is present.

They are located hiding in dark and moist nooks of the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers may be found in which masonry is still damp. During a famine, a silverfish may even attack leatherware and synthetic materials. 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 male and female carry out an exciting ritual that involves three phases and might last over half an hour. The feminine 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 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’re food for other insects like earwigs, house centipedes, and spiders.
