What are Silverfish?

Have you pulled a book off the rack or even opened an old wooden box and shout when these white unpleasant creatures dart off? We’re referring to silverfish.

They are not just crawlers but can dart off high as well without our naked eyes detecting. Apart from boxes and bookshelves, they are also located in basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. Moreover, silverfish are especially attracted to paper and moist clothing.

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

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish absorbs anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. Apart 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 as these creatures feed on it because of the glue. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents are considered food for those pests.

Silverfish are cosmopolitan species, meaning to say, they are common and are found in Africa, the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia and other parts of the Pacific. They live in moist areas that require a relative humidity between 75% and 95%. In urban areas, they can be found in basements and attics.

These domestic creepy crawlers are often found lurking in dark and sheltered areas in the home. Otherwise, they are likely hiding in between the nooks of the bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places. They may not impose any harm, and nothing has ever been recorded, however, they are considered a nuisance and may be harmful to any belongings.

Spotting an Infestation

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

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

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to 2 months to hatch. In fact, the adult female and male carryout an interesting mating ritual which involves 3 phases and lasts over half an hour. The feminine silverfish is capable of laying out 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. When these eggs hatch, the nymphs will thrive to develop into adults between 3 months to 3 years.

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