What are Silverfish?

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

Silverfish has been on earth millions of years ago before dinosaurs. Meaning, bugs like them have lived 400 million years! They are small wingless insects, with fish-like look and appear to be whitish-gray in color. They’re harmless and there have been no known evidence that they cause diseases or inject poison but then they’re considered pests in homes and businesses.

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, old books, and showers.

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, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photos, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception too because these creatures feed on it because of the glue. Overall, anything that’s polysaccharide contents are considered food for those pests.

Silverfish are common pest species and are abundant in Africa, the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia and other parts of the Pacific. They occupy moist areas with relative humidity between 75% and 95%.

They nestle in dark and sheltered areas in the household. If not, they are likely undisturbed in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and gated areas. They may not inflict any harm but they are considered a nuisance and may be destructive to any possessions.

Spotting an Infestation

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

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

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to 2 months to hatch. In fact, the female and male carryout an interesting ritual that involves 3 phases and may last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in little crevices. Finally, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to become adults after three months to three years.

On the other hand, they are food for other insects such as earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders

Controlling Silverfish Brooding

Though you may somehow lessen their brooding when you clean the household, it cannot guarantee that silverfish infestation will be completely eradicated. It will still be a wise decision if professional pest control services will be taken for silverfish treatment.

Here are a few reasons why having an expert silverfish treatment is the best initiative:

That being said, they can activate an allergic response in some people. Professionals have their own equipment. Silverfish can be tough to completely control this is especially true in homes that have wooden shingles on the roof. Additionally, a trained professional will be better because they will have the ability to help you identify and treat the areas where silverfish is living.
