What are Silverfish?

Silverfish are pest that are generally found in dwelling in drawers or boxes in garages and sheds. Silverfish are known for their destructive feeding habits, oftentimes ruining newspapers, clothing and wallpaper. Silverfish feed on carbohydrates, particularly sugars and starches. Cellulose, shampoos, paste in books, linen, silk and dead insects may be food sources. These white creepy creatures can dart off easily. They are mostly found in basements, attics, kitchens and bathrooms. Furthermore, silverfish are especially attracted to paper and damp clothing.

Silverfish have been existing for a number of years, coexisting with historical animals. Which means, bugs like them have been walking around the ground for 400 million years! They are little, wingless insects, together with the fish-like appearance and give off an impression of being whitish-grey in color. They are harmless and there’s been no known proof that they cause illnesses or inflict poison, however, then they are viewed as a pest in homes and organisations.

Silverfish do not transmit diseases, but the pests may 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 includes polysaccharides, like starches and dextrins in adhesives, which can be found 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 due to the paste. Overall, anything which has polysaccharide contents are considered foods 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 need a relative humidity between 75% and 95%. In urban areas, they can be located in basements and attics.

They nestle in dark and sheltered areas in the household. If not, they are probably undiscovered in bookshelves, cupboards, closets and secluded places. They may not impose any harm but they are considered a nuisance and can be destructive to any possessions.

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 in their attire or closets, they understand that silverfish is the culprit.

As above, silverfish loves moist, dark and cold locations. So, it is better to inspect the bathroom, kitchen cupboards, under the sink, attics and basements. Usually, when there are fresh buildings, large numbers could be found where masonry remains damp.

Silverfish eggs usually take within two weeks to two months to hatch. Actually, the male and female carryout an interesting ritual that involves 3 phases and might last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and deposited in small crevices. Eventually, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will work on its way to become adults following three months to three years.

Regardless of the fact that they are in charge of household damages, silverfish holds no record to transmit illnesses. Then again, they are sustenance for different pests like earwigs, home centipedes, and insects.
