What are Silverfish?

Have you ever pulled a book off the shelf or even opened an old wooden box just to shout when these white creepy creatures dart off? Well, we’re talking about silverfish.

Silverfish have been on the ground hundreds of thousands of years in the past before dinosaurs. Meaning, insects like them have lived for 400 million years! They are small wingless bugs, with the fish-like look and are whitish-grey in colour. They are harmless and there had been no acknowledged proof that they cause diseases or introduce toxin, however, they may be considered pests in houses and businesses.

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

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish devours whatever contains polysaccharides, as an instance, starches and dextrins in adhesives, which can be used in book ties. Besides that, they feed on a floor covering, apparel, espresso, dandruff, stick, hair, a few paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers are not an exception as well as these pests feed on it because of the paste. By and large, anything that has polysaccharide substance is seen as sustenance for these pests.

These local dreadful creatures regularly nestled in dim and secure places in the household. Otherwise, they are likely undisturbed in publication racks, organizers, storage rooms and segregated spots.

As previously mentioned, they may not cause massive damage, however, they are viewed as a hassle and can deem damage to any products.

Spotting an Infestation

These creepy crawlers are proven to be nocturnal and they move around so quickly. Since they feed on starches and paste, most people become aware that if they see holes and yellowish stains on their clothes or wardrobes, they understand that silverfish is the offender .

They are found hiding in dark and damp nooks of the toilet, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are new buildings, large numbers may be found where masonry is still moist. During a famine, a silverfish may even attack leatherware and synthetic fabrics. Silverfish can live for a year or more without eating.

Silverfish eggs generally take within 14 Days to 2 months to incubate. Indeed, the female and male carry out a fascinating habit that includes 3 phases and may last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay about 60 eggs and stored in tiny crevices. At the end, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will cope on its way to move toward becoming adults following after three months to three years.

Though they are responsible for household damages, silverfish holds no record to be transmitting diseases. On the other hand, they are food for other insects such as earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders.
