What are Silverfish?

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

Homeowners often transport silverfish indoors unknowingly. When brought inside the home, cardboard boxes and plastic containers recently stored in infested areas can make it possible for the pests to spread. The pests will enter homes through foundation cracks, torn screens, or gaps around doors. Leaving dirty dishes out in the open will also lure silverfish indoors.

Their presence 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 strain, and over time spread everywhere. These pests will enter houses through foundation cracks, torn screens, or openings 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 possessions. Their presence sometimes attracts carpet beetles and causes unease due to their strange appearance.

Silverfish in Australian Households

Silverfish feed on anything that contains polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrins in adhesives, which are found in book bindings. They are also known to feed on carpet, clothing, java, dandruff, glue, hair, some paints, paper, photographs, plaster, and sugar. Wallpapers aren’t an exception as well because of the glue. Overall, anything that has polysaccharide contents is considered food for these pests.

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

These domestic creepy crawlers are often found lurking in dark and sheltered areas in the household. If not, they are likely hiding between the nooks of the bookshelves, cabinets, cabinets 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

Silverfish are known to be nocturnal and they move around so quickly. Since they feed on starches and glue, most people become mindful that should they see openings and yellowish stains on their attire or cupboards, they understand that silverfish is the offender.

As above, silverfish loves moist, dark and cold locations. So, it’s better to inspect the bathroomkitchen closets, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are fresh buildings, large numbers could be found in which masonry remains damp.

Silverfish eggs generally take within 14 Days to two months to incubate. Indeed, the female and male carry out a fascinating habit that includes 3 stages and might last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay about 60 eggs and kept in small crevices. At the end, once the eggs hatch, the nymphs will deal on its way to move toward becoming adults after after three months to three years.

On the other hand, they’re food for other insects like earwigs, home centipedes, and spiders
